Pull View Rules API into a separate library
This changeset pulls out the API classes from the plugin sources and into a separate standalone .jar library. The library depends on the common.jar library. With the separate view API it should be possible to build designtime helpers (view rules) for custom views to improve editing behavior in the layout editor.

+The Rule API is a library intended for view authors to add designtime
+support for their custom views in Android layout editors.
+
+NOTE: The API is *not* final and will very likely continue to change
+incompatibly until we finish it and incorporate feedback.
+
+The rule API attempts to be IDE agnostic, so it should not have
+specific dependencies on any tools. IDE vendors building layout
+editors should provide IDE-side implementations of the rule interfaces
+such that they can interact with view rules.
