feat: made deviceId collection configurable and de-coupled anonymousid and deviceId

[desusai7]

Made device id collection by the SDK configurable and also stopped using deviceId as anonymous Id

• Added a new property collectDeviceId in the MobileConfig class and when this property is set to false, SDK will not use the value of Device Id in any possible manner and you will observe the following changes:

  1. context.device.id will not be sent as part of the event payload
  2. If the value of anonymousId currently used by the SDK is equal to DEVICE_ID/IDFV, it will changed to a UUID and this would be reflected at context.traits.anonymousId and .anonymousId

• Info: Till now, SDK would use DEVICE_ID/IDFV as anonymousId by default, if the user is not overriding the default value by using the putAnonymousId API.

• For the Customers who are not overriding the default value of anonymousId, which means when the value of anonymousId is equal to DEVICE_ID/IDFV, upgrading to 2.5.0 and setting property collectDeviceId to false would change the anonymousId of all of your existing users to a new UUID.

• Both the above changes are introduced to make the SDK more compliant with all the compliance policies around the collection of Device Id

• Added a new reset API which would accept a boolean, if this API is called with true the anonymousId would also be refreshed/reset with a new UUID.
