Google Photos share handler not picking up "enhanced"

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-share-enhanced-photo-from-android-photos/#post-18937960

On Android, when Google Photos shares an "Enhanced" image, it doesn't hand WordPress a normal file URI, it generates the enhanced version on the fly and passes it as a temporary content:// stream from the Google Photos provider. The WordPress Android app's share handler doesn't pick up that stream the same way it picks up an Original (which is already a real file on disk), so the new-post screen opens with no attachment.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Open a photo in Google Photos.
2. Select "Share".
3. Select "Enhanced".
4. Select "Share".
5. Select WordPress.
6. A blank post opens up in the Android WordPress app.
