Preserve order of shared library files

Shared libraries are stored in a list so order is preserved. However,
when they are resolved to files, e.g. for use as a class path the
file names are added to an ArraySet which loses the order. Presumably
they are added to a Set to eliminate duplicates. This switches to a
LinkedHashSet which will preserve the order in which the files are
added while still avoiding duplicates.

It is possible that this could cause app compatibility issues as the
order in which shared libraries is being added is changing. Problems can
only arise if two libraries whose order changes have duplicate classes
and/or resources. In that case the app was only working by luck, as the
order provided by ArraySet is based on the numerical order of hash
codes.

This was found while investigating performance regressions in
GoogleDialer, unfortunately it does not fix the regressions.

Bug: 65552462
Test: flash -w and systrace GoogleDialer to ensure correct order
