Description
When creating a new product via the OpenFoodFacts barcode lookup in the Android app, only basic metadata (product name, etc.) is retrieved and saved. The product image available in the OpenFoodFacts database is not downloaded and assigned to the product.
Current Behavior
- Scan a barcode → OpenFoodFacts returns product name and metadata ✅
- Product image from OpenFoodFacts is not retrieved or saved ❌
Expected Behavior
When a product is found via OpenFoodFacts and the user confirms the creation, the product image should be automatically downloaded from OpenFoodFacts and assigned to the product in Grocy, the same way the web frontend already does it.
Why It Matters
Without the product image, finding and identifying products in the stock overview is harder and slower. The web frontend (via HA Ingress) already retrieves the image automatically — the Android app should offer the same experience for consistency.

Notes
This is not a bug but a feature request to bring the Android app to parity with the web frontend behavior regarding OpenFoodFacts image retrieval.
