[Feature]: Cloned Apps should also be Freezable

[Yeshey]

Problem Statement

Google now officially has the "Cloned Apps" feature.

Essentials seems to only scan the current profile so it doesn't show cloned apps to be frozen:

Steps to reproduce

• Go to settings
• Search for "Cloned Apps"
• Clone any app
• Select "Pick apps to freeze" in Essencials
• The cloned app doesn't appear

Known workaround (This doesn't seem to work)

If essencials is also cloned, the cloned essencials will show a list of only the cloned apps.

• Go to settings
• Search for "Cloned Apps"
• Clone Essencials App
• In Shizuku grant premissions to the cloned essencials app
• From the cloned essencials app you are able to freeze cloned apps

Proposed Solution

The solution would be scanning also the cloned apps profile and displaying cloned apps in the list of apps to freeze

IDK why but I don't have the feature. Never needed but still never seen outside custom roms for me.

Hm, strange, I'm pretty sure that the code for the feature is in AOSP, but it seems very hit and miss for what ROMs or android flavors support it. I did a quick search and Google Pixel doesn't seem to have it, in Samsung you have to use something called Dual Messenger, or the Secure Folder feature. I'm in CRdroid which enabled the feature. If I have time I can try to look into it, and I can test it if you need as well

Unless it utilizes the private space implementation or any separate user/ profile for Pixels, we should be able to see that cloned app as it's just going to be another app with a different package name. But I do not thing we will be able to modify apps inside containers like private space.

Shizuku and KernelSU both are able to display cloned apps and allow me to give them their permissions, maybe their implementation could be useful to take a look as well
