[Android] Element with position: absolute is incorrectly marked as not visible to the user if it's rendered outside of parent

Description

When using UI automation suite like Maestro, on Android it uses AccessibilityNodeInfo isVisibleToUser method to determine if the element is visible to the user and clickable.

Despite an element rendered with position: absolute and no overflow: hidden on the parent being visible on the screen, the isVisibleToUser flag is incorrectly set to false if the element is outside of the bounds of the parent, causing E2E test to fail (mobile-dev-inc/maestro#1609)

Steps to reproduce

Clone the repro repository first.

To reproduce the issue:

1. Install the packages with yarn or npm
2. Open Android emulator
3. Run yarn android / npm run android
4. Make sure the app is visible
5. Press on the dropdown to open it

Then:

1. Install maestro locally
2. Run maestro -p android test maestro.yml and see the test fail
3. Run maestro hierarchy and see that the dropdown items are not visible in the output

Screenshots and Videos

Bắt đầu với reproducer bắt buộc của PositionAbsoluteBug và kiểm tra đầu ra trợ năng của Android cho dropdown được render bên ngoài phần tử cha của nó. Truy vết cách AccessibilityNodeInfo.isVisibleToUser được xác định trong trường hợp này, sau đó xác minh rằng các mục dropdown xuất hiện trong maestro hierarchy và test Maestro có thể tương tác với chúng mà không có overflow hidden.
