Detect android multiwindow
Draft/demonstration of checking if the app is in multiwindow mode and changing the top padding value accordingly. Such a change would still require tests, and some way to differentiate between splitscreen and freeform. Currently using the hardcoded 40 logical pixels.

After much struggling, I am able to call on the API methods newly introduced for level 35 that can be used to determine the bounding box of the content area. This means that we need not ruin the behavior of SafeArea on splitscreen mode in order to implement it for freeform mode. I will see shortly about getting this proof of concept (force?) pushed here. Doing so requires updated CIPD package dependencies that make the API 35 preview available, upgrading the gradle wrapper and android plugin versions, and updating the app's android/app/build.gradle to use the preview API.
