[BottomNavigationView] Allow to set more than 5 menu items

[palatin]

Hello, I understand that for correct displaying, limitation of items in bottom navigation view were set. But why is it hardcoded and final? For example, for tablet in landscape mode I want to have 7 items. Can you please allow to override max menu items.

We have design concerns around allowing more items than 5. If you really need that, you can extend BottomNavigationView and override getMaxItemCount() to provide a different value than 5.
