(gphotos): Expose hardware and id in BuildInfo & exclude additional features

[Amsal1]

This pull request enhances the spoofing logic for Google Photos patches by expanding the set of spoofed device features and build information to improve compatibility with Pixel-exclusive features. The changes focus on making the spoofed environment more closely resemble a genuine Pixel device, which can help unlock or maintain access to exclusive features.

Device information spoofing improvements:

• Added hardware and id fields to the spoofed build info in SpoofBuildInfoPatch.kt to better match a real Pixel XL device.

Feature list expansion:

• Added several missing Pixel experience feature flags (for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2019 Midyear) to the spoofed features list in SpoofFeaturesPatch.kt for disabling.
• Included future Pixel experience flags for 2026 (both midyear and standard) in the spoofed features list to ensure ongoing compatibility as new Pixel devices are released.
