Android 17 bug leaves Toast visible on the lock screen

AOSP 17 has a window-layer regression: text Toasts and system Toasts holding INTERNAL_SYSTEM_WINDOW stay visible over the lock screen. The cause is a change in WindowManagerPolicy.getWindowLayerFromTypeLw, where TYPE_TOAST now returns layer 27 instead of 7 for processes with that permission, and SystemUI, which renders all text Toasts since Android 12, holds it.
