Description
**Description:**
When `MaterialAutoCompleteTextView` is added as a custom view to a dialog, the dropdown height does not account for the IME. A good portion of the dropdown items end up below the keyboard.
**Expected behavior:**
In this screen recording, the last few items in the dropdown are obscured by the keyboard, but should ideally not happen.

**Source code:**
This can be reproduced with a small modification to the official catalog app in this repo.
1. Clone this repo (I was testing against `master` at commit 359580b6c1160301967ebdededb1011c1133b42c)
2. Apply this patch: https://gist.github.com/chenxiaolong/e3e163d1e1b8b3cb7a56f4fb4af19131
* This modifies the "Custom View" dialog sample to have a `MaterlaAutoCompleteTextView` and increases the number of dropdown elements to 25
3. Navigate to Dialogs -> Demo -> Custom View
4. Tap on the text box
5. The dropdown items are obscured by the keyboard
**Android API version:** 33
**Material Library version:** Both 1.8.0 and `master` (commit 359580b6c1160301967ebdededb1011c1133b42c) exhibit this issue
**Device:** Google Pixel 7 Pro (Android 13 build `TQ1A.230205.001.D2`)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the official catalog app through Dialogs -> Demo -> Custom View, using the described MaterialAutoCompleteTextView modification and Android API 33 setup. Start at MaterialAutoCompleteTextView's dropdown-height calculation and inspect how the IME is accounted for; done means the dropdown items remain visible above the keyboard in the dialog.
