Don't accidentally delete renamed packages
Apps on the system image can change their package by declaring their old one in the manifest. If a package is renamed it is internally referred by its old name. The reconciliation code was using the new package name for renamed packages and was concluding the apk is orphaned thus deleting it. This puts the package in a bad state where the app is gone and the version on the system partition is disabled. Also Play was showing an update for a renamed system app as an install while it is an update because of the same reason, it was using the new package name while the app is internally referred by the old one. The fix for both above is to internally normalize the package name by using the old one if the package was renamed or the package name as is. Test: With the fix put the old calculator on the system image and booted, then put the renamed calculator and booted, updated calculator from play and rebooted - calculator keeps working. Also did the above steps without the patch to put calculator in a bad state and flashed the system with the patch which fixed the broken calculator app. bug:32321269 Change-Id: I98bfc05c399edfc9854ebcce44182fefa55ceeff (cherry picked from commit e2c85890)
