Android static libraries are like APKs but they contain much more debugging
and source information. We need to treat them differently in 3 ways:
1) When building a static library, we skip things like ID assignment and
product/config stripping. Source information is emitted as well.
2) When building a static library and linking against another
static library, we don't want to merge, we want to simply reference.
3) When building an app that uses static libraries, we want to merge
the static library under the same package with or without mangling.

When a preferred density is supplied, the closest matching densities
will be selected, the rest stripped from the APK.
Split support will be enabled in a later CL. Command line support is still
needed, but the foundation is ready.

Without needing to conform to the runtime data format,
it is much easier to add new features such as debugging symbols
and carrying over product data to link time.
This also simplifies the runtime format parser and serializer,
which will change much less frequently than the protobuf intermediate
format.
