Contributing all buttons in one place goes against the designs that we
set out at the beginning of the project's rewrite and that multiple of
us have been following since then.
Activity.enterPictureInPictureMode method must be invoked synchronously
on userLeaveHint callback in order to be sure that the current Activity
is still visible (does not transit to PAUSED state). Previously if the
asynchronous processing would be delayed enough for the Activity to go
into the PAUSED state it will be too late to go into the PiP mode.
This only works automatically on Android >= 8. On other platforms / versions, it
relies on the SDK user on implementing a "reduced UI" mode and reacting to the
"request PIP" delegate method.
