Move ro.apex.updatable to the system partition
The decision to support updatable APEX or not used to be SoC-specific because updatable APEX (aka non-flattened APEX) requires some kernel feature support like loopback device. Kernel was considered as part of BSP then. Therefore, ro.apex.updatable property was in the vendor partition. However, with GKI, kernel is no longer SoC-specific. And most APEXes are installed to the system partition, which means that the decision affects how the system partition is built. Thus, this CL moves the property to the system partition. This enables some partners who have been using flattened APEX to be able to upgrade to non-flattened APEX without having to upgrade the vendor partition.
