User story

As a user who enjoys using dark/black mode in only in low-light settings, I want to the app to change from light to dark theme according to light conditions automatically, so that I don't have to change it manually all the time.

Original ticket description

Title: Dark / light mode should use AppCompat day / night mode
Support library v23.2 introduces a new day / night mode theme. This card covers an exploratory attempt to convert the PageFragment to support the new day / night mode (while still allowing explicit setting), evaluating whether other components should be updated too, and creating new task(s) for those other components if so.

@Niedzielski This task should have more definition. Is this affecting the way we implement the day/night themes?

This task needs more definition. We need to clarify how this will be used. Are controls still manual? Should this be a spike?

I've limited the scope of this attempt to PageFragment and added slightly more definition. We can call this a spike if you want but as it's written a successful evaluation will ship the conversion of PageFragment.
