Implement limited shared libraries in apks.
You can now declare shared libraries in apks that are on the system image. This is like the existing mechanism of using raw jar files as shared libraries, but since they are contained in an apk the library can actually be updated from the Play Store. And this even (mostly) works. There are some deliberate limitations on this feature. A new shared library *must* be declared by an apk on the system image. Installing an update to a system image apk does not allow you to add new shared libraries; they must be defined by everything on the base system image. This allows us to get rid of a lot of ugly edge cases (shared libraries that were there disappearing after an update is uninstalled for example) and give some brakes on apps that happen to be pre-installed on devices from being able to throw in new shared libraries after the fact. In working on this, I ran into a recently introduced bug where uninstalling updated to system apps would fail. This was done to allow for the new restricted users that don't have all system apps, but conflicts with the existing semantics for uninstalling system apps. To fix this I added a new uninstall flag that lets you switch on the new mode if desired. Also to implement the desired logic for limitations on declaring new shared libraries in app updates, I needed to slightly tweak the initial boot to keep the Package object for hidden system packages associated with their PackageSetting, so we can look at it to determine which shared libraries are allowed. I think this is probably more right than it was before -- we already need to parse the package anyway, so we have it, and when you install an update to a system app we are in this same state until you reboot anyway. And having this fixed also allowed me to fix another bug where we wouldn't grant a new permission to an updated app if its system image version is updated to request the permission but its version is still older than whatever is currently installed as an update. So that's good. Also add new sample code showing the implementation of an apk shared library and a client app using it. Change-Id: I8ccca8f3c3bffd036c5968e22bd7f8a73e69be22
