Add flag-guarded disabling of default .art file madvise
The compressed .art app image file is read just once during process startup. As such, there is little benefit to running a full madvise before starting decompression, and in some cases this actually leads to (slightly) worse latency. Use a flag to control the default value for the ART runtime's `-XMadviseWillNeedArtFileSize` configuration. Previously, this was set via a makefile default to be UINT_MAX. This default is preserved in the runtime, where the new aconfig flag disables this default and turns off .art file madvise (unless the property is explicitly configured for a particular device). After ramping and validating performance impact, we may consider deprecating and removing this ART runtime flag completely. Flag: android.os.disable_madvise_artfile_default Test: m Test: adb shell aflags enable android.os.disable_madvise_artfile_default && adb shell setprop dalvik.vm.extra-opts -verbose:startup && adb logcat | grep Madvise Bug: 382110550 Change-Id: I16170215da0d06a0fd110112fc17b03002939621
