Subject: [PATCH] fix: Retain task state for MainActivity and ComposeActivity
 (#1055)

Some users report that returning to the `ComposeActivity` loses content
they've entered and returns to `MainActivity`. I can't reproduce this,
but it's possible that Android is clearing the task state and returning
to the root activity (`MainActivity` in this case).

Set `alwaysRetainTaskState` to true to keep the activity stack, and
hopefully prevent this from happening.
