feat: Support more than 6 screens on Android

[sidorchukandrew]

PR Description

The default maximum number of screens allowed by Android's bottom navigation view is 6. I think the reasoning is to prevent people from over-populating the bottom tab bar. However, there are two situations that I can think of that require more than 6 tabs:

1. You have a custom tab bar and just want to use the native transition animations
2. You are explicitly hiding some tabs from the tab bar, but still want to be able to navigate to other screens and have the nav bar visible.

The goal isn't to make the nav bar look ugly, but provide more flexibility for "hidden" screens or custom tab bars.

How to test?

Update the example app to have more than 6 screens and see them all appear in the bottom tab bar. Make some screens hidden from the tab bar but still provide a way to navigate to them (maybe add a button on one of the screens that navigates to this "hidden" screen). You should see the native animation still works.
