5cdadb48d0 initial shuffle of the API guide nav to add introduction
* revise to the Compatibility doc, put it in Intro
* put Permissions in Intro
* put App Fundamentals in Intro
* move Manifest docs to the top of side nav tree
* move App Resources above UI
Will perform another fix to the Best Practices section
later to deprecate some docs there and point to Training instead

143e61097e DO NOT MERGE Clarify the explanation of Android's security design.
Assert plainly that Dalvik is not a boundary.

Certificates are for distinction, not "fake trustworthiness through
verifying cheap identities".

Clarify that UID + GID are what the kernel bases its protection on, not PID.
This is a fuzzy distinction on Android since (apart from sharedUserId and
magical system processes) there is a 1:1 mapping from process <-> UID.  But
it's important to clarify what we mean.

Clarify up front about the staticness (staticity?) of permissions. It's
explained lower down, but experience shows people don't read that far down.
Get the rationale (bad UX --> bad security) right up top.
