aconfig: add dump protobuf format
Introduce a new protobuf format to represent the all flags parsed by aconfig. This data in this new format is similar to that of the internal cache object, but the protobuf is a public API for other tools to consume and any changes to the proto spec must be backwards compatible. When aconfig has matured more, Cache can potentially be rewritten to work with proto structs directly, removing some of the hand-written wrapper structs and the logic to convert to and from the proto structs. At this point, the intermediate json format can be replaced by the protobuf dump. Also, teach `aconfig dump` to accept an --out <file> argument (default: stdout). Also, teach `aconfig dump` to read more than once cache file. Note: the new protobuf fields refer to existing fields. It would make sense to split the .proto file in one for input and one for output formats, and import the common messages, but the Android build system and cargo will need different import paths. Keep the definitions in the same file to circumvent this problem. Bug: 279485059 Test: atest aconfig.test Change-Id: I55ee4a52c0fb3369d91d61406867ae03a15805c3
