New screen recording + Cast chip

Instead of the indicator appearing at the right with the other status bar icons, it’s now a chip — like calling — at the left. Besides being wider with a live count, you can tap it to “Stop recording” instead of having to first open the notification shade, which could reveal personal information, and heading to that red alert. There’s also a chip for Casting.
