App 2.6.0: floating button to open the app

The MG4's launcher does not list third-party apps, so the app could
only be opened by reinstalling it. Now a small round MG-red button
floats over the car's screens: tap opens the app, drag moves it (the
position is kept and clamped to the screen), and it hides while the
app itself is open. A switch in the Upload tab turns it off.

The always-on service owns the overlay, so the button is there from
boot. It needs the overlay permission (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW), which the
car build has through the system UID; without it, or if the window
manager refuses, the button stays away and nothing crashes, and the
Upload tab offers the system permission screen.

Tested on an Android 9 AOSP emulator at the head unit's 1920x1080 /
160 dpi with the car APK (installs as UID 1000): button appears over
the home screen, tap opens the app, hidden while open, drag moves it
without opening the app, position survives a force-stop, the switch
works through the UI. FloatingButtonGeometry has 3 unit tests.
