This change adds support for static shared libraries that
emulate static linking allowing apps that statically link
against the same library version to share a common
implementation. A library is hosed by a package in a standard
APK.

Static shared libraries have a name and a version declared
by a dedicated manifest tag. A client uses also a new tag
to refer to the static library it uses by specifying the
lib name, version, and the hash of the signing certificate.
This allows two apps to rely on two different library versions
and prevents impersonation of the shared library by a side-loaded
app with the same package name.

Internally apps providing static libs use synthetic package
name generated from the manifest package name and the library
version. This allows having different "versions" of the same
package installed at the same time.

An application cannot be installed if a static shared lib it
depends on is missing. A used shared library cannot be uninstalled.
Shared libraries can rotate certificates like normal apps. The
versions of these libs should be ordered similarly to the version
codes of the hosting package. Such libs cannot use shared user
id, cannot be ephemeral, cannot declare other libraries, cannot
rename their package, cannot declare child-packages. They must
target O SDK. Also they cannot be suspended or hidden or their
uninstall blocked. Generally, speaking policy regarding code in
static shared libs should be applied to the packages using the
library as it could have just statically linked the code.

We now have APIs to query information about the shared libraries
on the device in general. To clients static shared libraries are
presented as multiple versions of the same package which is how
they are declared and published. Therefore, one can have two
versions of the same package which means we need way to query
for and uninstall a specific version of a package. Also static
shared libs can depend on other static shared libs which are
versioned packages. To ease representation we add the concept
of a versioned package which should be used in the case of
static shared libs.

A client can see only the static shared libs it depends on and
more specifically only the versions it depends would be retrieved
by using the standard package manager APIs. There is a new
dedicated API to get info about all shared libraries which
would provide data about all static shared lib versions. Also
these libraries must use v2 signing scheme.

Test: CTS tests pass

When restoring hundreds of apps on low-DPI devices, we end up sending
icon Bitmaps inline in the response instead of splitting into ashmem
regions. To avoid triggering TransactionTooLargeException, switch to
using ParceledListSlice under the hood.

For the system restore use-case, an installer may need to enqueue
their sessions quickly before badging details, like icons, have been
downloaded. This change relaxes to allow an installer to update
their session badging after the session has been created. Notify
observers when badging changes.

Rename callback registration methods to match style guide. Relax
constraint that observers are home app. Fix bug around internal
progress reporting.

Moving apps to/from SD cards has historically been neglected, meaning
it can easily break. This happened most recently for split APKs,
64-bit native code, and multiArch support.

To make this easier to maintain, treat move as a no-op upgrade,
following the inheriting code path that split APKs depends on.

Also clean up scary places where different flavors of flags were
being combined, and remove unused flags. Fix media broadcasts to be
sent based on existing app storage location.

New API to abandon install session without opening it.

When an app without INSTALL permission attempts to commit a session,
we involve user to confirm permissions. We currently point at the
base APK, which defines all permissions for an app, handling the case
where a session may only be adding splits.

Add failure codes to represent rejection. Fix bug by ignoring stages
during initial boot scan.

- No longer track process starts/stops normally.
- Increase buffer size to 256KB.
- Buffer size increase requires reworking how battery stats
are retrieved, since it is going to be hitting IPC limits.
- Also, store the last full stats after a reset, to be reported
at the next checkin.
- Also, discharge and charge times are tagged with the screen
and battery save state during that time.

bb580670350b76fa2fcc5ee873f99b7970759cbf 10-Jul-2014 Jeff Sharkey <jsharkey@android.com> Progress toward installer public API: callbacks.

Instead of surfacing all the existing cryptic error codes, we're
going to classify them into broad categories when surfacing through
public API. This change introduces InstallResultCallback and
UninstallResultCallback, and wires them up to existing AIDL
interfaces.

Also start defining general SessionObserver for apps interested
in general progress details, such as Launcher apps. Details about
active sessions are returned through new InstallSessionInfo objects.

Separate commands to create an install session, stream files into the
staging area, and then commit the install. Streaming can accept data
from stdin across adb, avoiding extra copy from push.

Extend FileBridge to support blocking close(). Always destroy
session regardless of result.

3a44f3f1b446315ef894e01d2ab9b5388c2bd8c4 29-Apr-2014 Jeff Sharkey <jsharkey@android.com> Initial support for split APKs, PackageInstaller.

Defines a new PackageInstaller class that will be used for installing
and upgrading packages. An application desiring to install an
application creates a session, stages one or more package files in
that session, and then kicks off the install.

Previously, PackageManager would always make its own copy of a package
before inspecting it, to ensure the data could be trusted. This new
session concept allows the installer to write package data directly to
its final resting place on disk, reducing disk I/O and footprint
requirements. Writes are directed through an intermediate pipe
to ensure we can prevent mutations once an install has been initiated.
Also uses fallocate() internally to support optimal ext4 block
allocation using extents to reduce fragmentation.

Sessions are also the way we support installing multiple "split" APKs
in a single atomic operation. For a set of packages to form a valid
application, they must have exactly the same package name, version
code, and certificates. A session can also be used to add a small
handful of splits to an application by inheriting existing packages
when not performing a full install.

Add PackageParser support for extracting split names and certificates.
