The march of progress, I guess, and the unquenchable thirst to update.

Ignoring orientation, resizability, and aspect ratio restrictions might impact your app's UI on some devices, especially elements that were designed for small layouts locked in portrait orientation:

The following values for screenOrientation, setRequestedOrientation(), and getRequestedOrientation() are ignored:
portrait
reversePortrait
sensorPortrait
userPortrait
landscape
reverseLandscape
sensorLandscape
userLandscape

Exceptions
The Android 16 orientation, resizability, and aspect ratio restrictions don't apply in the following situations:

• Games (based on the android:appCategory flag)

If the Godot Android Editor causes problems, then perhaps we can use this flag for now.

If the Godot Android Editor causes problems, then perhaps we can use this flag for now.

From my testing, things seem to work as expected - bear in mind that the specified behavior only occurs on large screen devices - so we shouldn't need this flag. But we should validate and that's why this PR still has the needs testing tag.

I think we can go with this PR. We are still at the very start of 4.7 cycle and if we observe any changes, we would have time to address that.

Oof, that error is a wonky one. It must be setting off from the changes made to accomodate mingw-llvm, but that's now overlapping with Android clang. I think this can be safely fixed like this:

@Repiteo Thanks! That seems to fix the build issue locally.
