LocaleTestRule not working for the first test only if < API 27

Describe the bug
LocaleTestRule not working for the first test only if < API 27

Environment
The setup in which the bug is reproducible:

• Device or Emulator: Emulator
• API level: < API 27
• AndroidUiTestingUtils version: 1.0.0
• Affected Component: Activity (ONLY) -> LocaleTestRule
• Buggy Configuration: Locale

Expected behavior
It displays the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: updateConfiguration() from pid=28072, uid=10065 requires android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

although the permission is added in debug/manifest

Remarks:

1. Does not happen on API 27+.
2. Only the first test is buggy. The locale change becomes effective afterwards on every test.

This will be fixed once the AppCompatDelegate reaches the 1.6.0 release version, including AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales()
