Add non-fatal mode for verify_uses_libraries check.

The new mode is enabled with environment variable
RELAX_USES_LIBRARY_CHECK. If the variable is set to true, then a
verify_uses_libraries check failure does not fail the build, instead it
sets a special compiler filter "extract" for dexpreopt, which means that
the DEX file will be extracted, but it won't be compiled to native code.
Class loader context will be set to empty in this case (not &, as it is
going to be deprecated soon).

If the variable RELAX_USES_LIBRARY_CHECK is unset or set to something
other than "true", then the old behaviour of the verify_uses_libraries
check is preserved.

The intended use case for this flag is to have a smoother migration path
for the Java modules that need to add <uses-library> information in
the build files. The flag allows to quickly silence build errors. This
flag should be used with caution and only as a temporary measure, as it
masks real errors and affects performance.

verify_uses_libraries check is reworked so that it writes the error
message to a status file (which is used instead of the former timestamp
file). Currently the stored error message is not used, but it may be
used later to produce a warning. Dexpreopt command checks if the status
file exists and is nonempty; if that is the case, then compiler filter
is set to "extract".

Bug: 132357300

Test: Manually add some mismatch between the libraries in the Android.bp
      and Android.mk files for dexpreopted apps, build with
      RELAX_USES_LIBRARY_CHECK=true and obsserve that the build doesn't
      fail and they are compiled with compiler-filter "extract".
      Unset RELAX_USES_LIBRARY_CHECK and observe that the build fails.

Android Make Build System

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For an outdated reference on Android.mk files, see build-system.html.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.
