releasetools: Add support for --override_timestamp.
We use the timestamps in builds to determine a downgrade, which might not be always the truth. For examples, two builds cut from different branches may carry timestamps in a reverse order. An incremental package won't be able to be pushed nor applied, based on the timestamp comparison. We used to handle such a case with manual work, by setting the post-timestamp to (pre-timestamp + 1) in the package metadata. This CL automates the process by adding a new flag --override_timestamp. Note that it doesn't change anything in the installed image, but only affects the assertions for pushing / installing the package. With the change in this CL: - If it's a downgrade without any extra flag, fail the package generation (we only print warnings prior to this CL); - If it's a downgrade with --downgrade flag, generate a downgrade package with forced data wipe (same as before); - If it's a downgrade with --override_timestamp, generate a normal incremental with hacked timestamp (pre-timestamp + 1) (new in this CL to avoid the manual change); - If it's not a downgrade but with any of the above two flags specified, fail the package generation. Bug: 33744169 Test: Generate an incremental from builds with reversed timestamps.
