Multi packages per APK - broadcasts
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. This change ensures that we send package broadcasts for child packages when they are updated, removed, disabled, replaced, etc. Sample app:ag/848432 Change-Id: I25b29c98152dcad9ede4d4eb040cc897b7f93426
