v2.0.0-beta04

What's changed

• Much better looking export as string in 'SavedGameScreen'
• Added selected value note highlight
• Fixed issue where the last game's difficulty and type were not being applied at 'HomeScreen'
• The font size of notes is now calculated based on the cell size (and paddings are applied). Simply put, there will no longer be situations where notes may overlap or go beyond the cell.
• Added support for automatic board font size

P.S This is probably the last beta of 2.0.0 (if no new bugs are found). So translate the new strings into your language on Hosted Weblate, and after a few days I'll merge them and make a release

Changes in v2.0.0-beta03
