Support DocumentsContract.EXTRA_INITIAL_URI for file chooser #440

As Material Files can be used as a file chooser for other apps when using Intent like Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, it would be nice to also support DocumentsContract.EXTRA_INITIAL_URI to set the initial location.

The official DocumentsContract.EXTRA_INITIAL_URI needs a DocumentsProvider URI instead of a file path and only the system file chooser from DocumentsUI may find it useful, because for instance, this app actually operates mainly on file paths, not DocumentsProvider URIs.
