Android Keystore keys are no longer backed by Conscrypt.
This switches Android Keystore asymmetric keys from being backed by Conscrypt (via keystore-engine which is an OpenSSL/BoringSSL ENGINE which talks to keystore via the old KeyStore API) to being backed by the AndroidKeyStore Provider which talks to keystore via the new KeyStore API. In effect, this switches asymmetric crypto offered by Android Keystore from old Keystore API to new KeyStore API, enabling all the new features such as enforcement of authorizations on key use. Some algorithms offered by Android Keystore, such as RSA with OAEP or PSS padding schemes, are not supported by other providers. This complicates matters because Android Keystore only supports public key operations if the corresponding private key is in the keystore. Thus, Android Keystore can only offer these operations for its own public keys only. This requires AndroidKeyStore to use its own subclasses of PublicKey everywhere. The ugliest place is where it needs to return its own subclass of X509Certificate only to be able to return its own subclass of PublicKey from Certificate.getPublicKey().
