LayoutChildren Method does not respect the values that are given in

[AswinPG]

Description

It's my understanding that by overriding the LayoutChildern of Contentpage let'sus to write custom code for layouting it's children, I am trying to layout the children such a way to avoid rendering over the android Navbar and the camera cutout but maui keeps placing them over the cutout/Navbar even if i give fixed values to layoutChildren method.

I am not really sure if this is how LayoutChildren is supposed to work. Please advise if I am wrong

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new Maui App
2. create a page that inherits from ContentPage
3. Override the LayoutChildren method and try to give your own fixed size
4. The given size is not respected, instead the whole display is used

I guess better migrate to new layout implementation: #7613 (comment)

If you override ArrangeOverride and MeasureOverride you can provide custom implementations of how children are laid out.
