💡 What:
Extracted hardcoded foreground notification text out of Cam.kt into strings.xml. Updated the text to use standard, non-technical UX terminology ("Tap to open" instead of "Click to open", and "Stop" instead of "Kill"). Also gave the NotificationChannel a descriptive, human-readable name instead of using its CHANNEL_ID.

🎯 Why:
System notifications are a core user-facing surface. Using harsh, technical language like "Kill" or "Click" (on a touch device) is jarring and confusing. Moving strings to strings.xml also allows them to be translated in the future.

📸 Before/After:
Before: Notification Channel was named "REMOTE_CAM", text said "Click to open", and the action was "Kill".
After: Notification Channel is named "RemoteCam Service", text says "Tap to open", and the action is "Stop".

♿ Accessibility:
Screen readers now read appropriate action context instead of "Kill", which sounds aggressive out of context, and "Tap" correctly represents a mobile interface action compared to a "Click". The Notification Channel also has a much more descriptive, localized name when users explore App Info/Settings.
