Deprecate android.util.Mutable*.
Since http://r.android.com/565744 , these classes do not appear in the signature of any other Android API. There are no plans to make them part of any future API signatures. They do not provide useful abstractions because: - They lack encapsulation and functionality (value is nonfinal; lack of equals/hashCode and toString). - It's trivial for apps to implement similar types for their internal use. Only three of these eight classes (Mutable{Int,Long,Boolean}) are used internally in Android; most of these usages could be written better with named, more specific classes. Therefore these classes do not pull their own weight on the API surface of android.util. This CL deprecates all eight classes in preparation for removing them from the Android API surface at some point in the future, and to allow the unused classes to be removed entirely.
