measure or measureInWindow broken in 0.77 with (android) targetSdk 35 (maybe)

[dcorbin]

Description

First, I am aware of the changes made in 0.77 to forced edge-to-edge displays when targeting SDK 35. But I'm concerned that a bug has been introduced in to measure() or measureInWindow().

I have written a small RN project to show what I'm concerned with: https://github.com/dcorbin/LayoutEdgeToEdge. When targeting SDK 35 with this code, I call both methods and they return different values for y. However, if this project is built with targetSDK 34, the report they same Y value. (Screenshots below)

It makes sense to me that the value changes when edge-to-edge is enabled, but given how the views are laid out it seem that it should be the same Y for both methods.

I have seen this behavior cause regressions in two different circumstances where the layout of a view is being used to calculate a relative position of another view.

Probably unrelated, but I am curious why the onLayout information is different than the measure/measureInWindow information.

Steps to reproduce

1. Checkout and run the example application.
2. Notice the output as it is placed in the view.

To me, this confirms my belief. If the top view is the full size of the window (and I think it is), the measure() and measureInWindow() should return the same Y value.
