[Posture.separatingVerticalHingeBounds] is not empty, the layout may want to avoid putting any
content over those hinge area. We suggest to use [calculatePosture] to retrieve instances of this

the default implementation.

Note that the hinge bounds will be represent as [Rect] with window coordinates, instead of layout

Posture info that can help make layout adaptation decisions. For example when
`Posture.separatingVerticalHingeBounds` is not empty, the layout may want to avoid putting any
content over those hinge area. We suggest to use `calculatePosture` to retrieve instances of this
class in applications, unless you have a strong need of customization that cannot be fulfilled by
the default implementation.

Note that the hinge bounds will be represent as `Rect` with window coordinates, instead of layout
coordinate.
