Android crash when displaying a custom marker info window using markerInfoContents

Using markerInfoContents to display a custom NativeScript view causes Android to crash on API 36, API 37, and a physical Android device.

Error

java.lang.IllegalStateException:
The specified child already has a parent.
You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.

Cause

In packages/google-maps/index.android.ts, the plugin adds info.view to a GridLayout container but returns the child:

container.addChild(info.view)
return info.view.nativeView

Because the returned child already belongs to the container, Google Maps attempts to attach an already-parented view.

Suggested fix

Return the wrapper container instead:

return container.nativeView

The custom information-window view should display without crashing when repeatedly opening markers.
