Description
Since `BottomNavigationView `uses `MaterialShapeDrawable `internally as background, it would be nice if we could set its `ShapeAppearanceModel `in xml or via setter.
While it is possible to get the background as MaterialShapeDrawable and apply the `ShapeAppearanceModel`, it would be more convenient via xml attribute or setter.
