Add API to query whether animators are enabled
Animators can be scaled to have zero duration globally in any device. This can happen either via Developer Options (an uncommon path) or Battery Saver mode (much more common for real users). In general, this works fine; it just causes app animations to be jump-cuts instead (which is the desired effect, either to make transitions faster (Developer Options setting) or to optimize battery usage by rendering fewer frames (Battery Saver mode). But sometimes, choreographed animations can have undesired artifacts. For example, an animation that calls an end listener to restart itself will end up doing this almost constantly due to this effect. Other artifacts can also occur, such as intermediate results in a complex choreography of multiple animations can show several intermediate results in a way that is confusing to the user. For these cases, there is nothing that the platform can do to automatically determine how to best handle the result. Instead, we surface this new API to help developers discover this behavior and compensate accordingly.
