aconfig: use proto struct directly
Remove the hand-crafted wrappers around the structures auto-generated
from protos/aconfig.proto, and use the auto-generated structs directly
intead. This gets rid of a lot of manual repetition, and its inherent
risk.
Also unify how individual fields read from text proto are verified (e.g.
is the flag.name field a valid identifier).
Also change the intermediate cache format from JSON to binary protobuf.
The concept of a 'cache' as an intermediate internal format to represent
parsed input stays. The command line interface still refers to caches.
At the moment a cache file is identical to a parsed_file protbuf, and
the code exploits this internally.
A couple of points regarding the auto-generated structs:
- Vectors are named in the singular (e.g. parsed_flags.parsed_flag is
a Vec<ProtoParsedFlag>) because this improves ergonomics for all
devs working with aconfig input files
- The auto-generated structs have fields that are of type Option<T>
and convenience methods (named the same as the fields) to access T
Test: atest aconfig.test aconfig.test.java
