Add a real time clock to the TV layout

Describe your suggested feature

I want to add some optional text that displays the current real time in the player of the tv layout. This way you can quickly spot what time it is without having to exit the app. You can already do this on phones and tablets by swiping down from the from the top of the screen, but on android tv's this is not possible.

This would be a setting that the user can turn on to display the clock.

For now i would like to place the clock in the top right, like in the picture below:

Other details

I am currently a computer science student. My current assignment is to contribute to an open source project. I would love to make a small contribution to this project, so I plan implement this feature myself.

Please let me know if this feature request would be acceptable. If so, I will still need to get approval from my teacher, and I'll post an update once I know more.

Acknowledgements

• My suggestion is NOT about adding a new provider
• I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.

The issue names the TV layout and a user setting but no files or tests. Start by locating the TV layout entry point and existing layout settings, then trace how optional UI elements are configured. Done means the setting controls a current-time clock positioned in the top-right of the TV player.
