Multi packages per APK
This change introduces the ability to have multiple packages per APK. The feature is currently restricted to privileged apps and updates to such apps. In essence the manifest can have multiple child package declarations. A child package can declare everything an Android package can except some tags or attributes that are not applicable and instead inherited from the parent when needed. For example, the target SDK of the parent applies to all children. A child package can be updated only through the parent package. A package with multiple child packages is installed, uninstalled atomically - no partial installs where some child packages are not installed. The remaining work is to ensure broadcasts are also sent for child packages. This will come in a subsequent change.
