The goal here is to add back an approximation of the old preference StatusBarOverlaysWebview. We did this by removing the API 35, android 15, version gate on the AndroidEdgeToEdge preference, allowing edge-to-edge mode to be enabled on Android 9+ (API 28). We can do this now because AndroidEdgeToEdge is still opt in, so we can enforce an OutSystemsUI upgrade on users who choose to opt in. We couldn't do this before when it was originally going to be the default to be opted in, as that would force a breaking change on users.

Motivation and Context
This change was added in because we previously made the decision to remove statusBarOverlaysWebview. It turns out our customers did not want that, so we are adding in a feature to get similar functionality back.
