Remove overlay logic from package manager and parser
Consolidate all knowledge about overlays to the overlay manager (except static RROs that target "android": these are handled from native code in order to be loaded as part of Zygote boot). This removes the ability to overlay AndroidManifest.xml. There are some use-cases where overlaying a manifest makes sense [e.g. changing an app's label or icon or what components should be enabled by default] but the opposite is also true [e.g. permissions]. Support for manifests can be introduced again gradually with these goals in mind: - should not happen during parsing [which represents the immutable truth as read from disk] - should happen during scanning [which applies mutable settings to a parsed package] - be limited in what can be modified Bug: 78808368 Test: builds, boots Change-Id: I12c16fce65b1e68876f0c9acd7e2a61405e64435
