React-native-device-info: Android: Support for simulated cutout option in developer tools

[petekp]

Feature Request

Android dev tools provide a setting that allows you to simulate a device cutout / notch on any device. Wondering if it might be possible for DeviceInfo.hasNotch() to recognize whether this setting is enabled and to return true if it is enabled.

Why it is needed

It would allow a developer to use a single simulator for testing UI changes both with and without a notch. Otherwise, two simulators are necessary.

Oh that's cool - I didn't even know that existed. I'd love for that to be possible and would merge a PR for that immediately but I'm traveling right now so don't have time to look at it myself
