/**
* Moves album content to the special media directories on **Android R** or **above** if needed.
* Those new locations are in line with the Android `scoped storage` - so your application won't
* lose write permission to those directories in the future.
*
* This method does nothing if:
* - app is running on **iOS**, **web** or **Android below R**
* - app has **write permission** to the album folder
*
* The migration is possible when the album contains only compatible files types.
* For instance, movies and pictures are compatible with each other, but music and pictures are not.
* If automatic migration isn't possible, the function rejects.
* In that case, you can use methods from the `expo-file-system` to migrate all your files manually.
*
* # Why do you need to migrate files?
* __Android R__ introduced a lot of changes in the storage system. Now applications can't save
* anything to the root directory. The only available locations are from the `MediaStore` API.
* Unfortunately, the media library stored albums in folders for which, because of those changes,
* the application doesn't have permissions anymore. However, it doesn't mean you need to migrate
* all your albums. If your application doesn't add assets to albums, you don't have to migrate.
* Everything will work as it used to. You can read more about scoped storage in [the Android documentation](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage).
*
* @param album An [Album](#album) or its ID.
* @return A promise which fulfils to `void`.
