Move hidden ApplicationInfo flags into a separate field.
The public API field android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo.flags can support only 32 flags. This limit has been reached. As a short term workaround to enable new public flags to be added, this CL moves flags which are not public API into a separate new field privateFlags and renames the affected flags constants accordingly (e.g., FLAG_PRIVILEGED is now PRIVATE_FLAG_PRIVILEGED). The new privateFlags field is not public API and should not be used for flags that are public API. The flags that are moved out of ApplicationInfo.flags are: * FLAG_HIDDEN, * FLAG_CANT_SAVE_STATE, * FLAG_FORWARD_LOCK, and * FLAG_PRIVILEGED. NOTE: This changes the format of packages.xml. Prior to this CL flags were stored in the "flags" attribute. With this CL, the public flags are stored in a new "publicFlags" attribute and private flags are stored in a new "privateFlags" attribute. The old "flags" attribute is interpreted by using the old values of hidden/private flags. Change-Id: Ie23eb8ddd5129de3c6e008c5261b639e22182ee5
