Adds a new secure setting, hide_navigation_handle, controlling whether the navigation handle in gesture navigation mode (the hint pill on the bottom of the screen) is drawn (default) or hidden.

This feature has been referenced as acceptable by the GrapheneOS team, by @thestinger in #2760, it has been implemented in this PR as instructed: "[It] should not remove the reserved space in apps without edge-to-edge support to avoid breaking app compatibility. It should only hide the navigation zone hint."

This feature is implemented in 3 repos:

  • Settings app: adds the user-facing toggle (link)
  • Launcher3: consumes the setting and hides the handle (link)
