[Android] Application.systemLanguage does not update after changing language while application is in background
To reproduce:
1. Open attached project
2. Build and run to android device
3. Open the application and press the "Check system language" button ( shows language that is used at the moment)
4. Put application to the background and go to the system settings
5. Change the system language to another one
6. Open the application from the background and press the button again
Actual result: The application does not update the language that was changed in system settings while the application was in the background
Expected result: The language should be updated while the application was minimized
Reproduced with: 2019.2.15f1; 2020.1.15f1
Can not check on lower versions due to packages errors.
Tested and reproduced with:
VLNQA00170, Google Pixel 2 (Pixel 2), Android 10, CPU: Snapdragon 835 MSM8998, GPU: Adreno (TM) 540
VLNQA00277, Asus ROG Phone (ASUS_Z01QD), Android 8.1.0, CPU: Snapdragon 845 SDM845, GPU: Adreno (TM) 630
Crashes on iPhone 7+ (iOS 11.4.1) when changing the system language. (seems like iOS kills the app while changing the system language)
Note: If the application is killed and reopened the Application.systemLanguage updates the language.

Resolution Note:
There is no way to fix this, Locale is set for JVM during startup and it cannot be updated without restart.

Theoretically we can listen to https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED event, and then restart app, but I don't think that this is what our users want.
