Add <staging-public-group-final> to aapt2
To allow apps that compiled against a pre-release SDK to continue working for a period of time after API finalization, a new tag, <staging-public-group-final>, has been added to aapt2. When finalizing the framework resource API, converting <staging-public-group> tags to <staging-public-group-final> will cause aapt2 to generate the resource table so that there is a resource entry for the old non-finalized (staged) resource ID and another entry for the finalized resource ID of newly finalized resources. This allows an application that compiled against the pre-release SDK to continue resolving resources using pre-release resource IDs. All references to pre-release resource IDs will be rewritten to their finalized resource IDs through the information stored in the new staged alias chunk. This allows applications compiled against <staging-public-group> resources to use the newly finalized resource ID without re-compilation. When an application is re-compiled against the SDK with <staging-public-group-final> tags, the application will use the finalized resource IDs. This change limits the use of the alias chunk to the framework for S. Bug: 183411356 Test: aapt2_test Change-Id: Iba1c3033c3c2f32de8e4a19b58d3921c971092c4
