[MAINTENANCE MODE] Material Components for Android

At Google I/O 2026, Material Android announced that we're "all-in" on Compose, alongside the official Android Compose-first announcement, marking a new chapter in Android development.

This means that the Views-based Material Components for Android library (MDC-Android) is now in maintenance mode.

There are no more planned feature releases for Views, so all projects using the Views library should begin or continue migrating to Compose to get the latest Material Design and Android platform updates.
