aconfig: use proto struct directly
Remove the hand-crafted wrappers around the structures auto-generated
from protos/aconfig.proto, and use the auto-generated structs directly
intead. This gets rid of a lot of manual repetition, and its inherent
risk.
Also unify how individual fields read from text proto are verified (e.g.
is the flag.name field a valid identifier).
Also change the intermediate cache format from JSON to binary protobuf.
The concept of a 'cache' as an intermediate internal format to represent
parsed input stays. The command line interface still refers to caches.
At the moment a cache file is identical to a parsed_file protbuf, and
the code exploits this internally.
A couple of points regarding the auto-generated structs:
- Vectors are named in the singular (e.g. parsed_flags.parsed_flag is
a Vec<ProtoParsedFlag>) because this improves ergonomics for all
devs working with aconfig input files
- The auto-generated structs have fields that are of type Option<T>
and convenience methods (named the same as the fields) to access T
Test: atest aconfig.test aconfig.test.java

This is the Makefile-based portion of the Android Build System.
For documentation on how to run a build, see Usage.txt
For a list of behavioral changes useful for Android.mk writers see Changes.md
For an outdated reference on Android.mk files, see build-system.html. Our Android.mk files look similar, but are entirely different from the Android.mk files used by the NDK build system. When searching for documentation elsewhere, ensure that it is for the platform build system -- most are not.
This Makefile-based system is in the process of being replaced with Soong, a new build system written in Go. During the transition, all of these makefiles are read by Kati, and generate a ninja file instead of being executed directly. That's combined with a ninja file read by Soong so that the build graph of the two systems can be combined and run as one.
