Android T GKI certification scheme

New scheme is to certify kernel & ramdisk image separately, and
effectively decouple kernel & user space ramdisk image.

Under the new scheme, the --os_version and --os_patch_level boot header
field must be empty in order to maintain consistency.
Instead, these values must be in the vbmeta hash descriptor and
GKI certificate.

The new scheme also validates the image metadata, including the security
patch level.

The 'generic_kernel' certificate is associated with the 'boot' partition
and 'generic_ramdisk' certificate with 'init_boot' partition.

The 'generic_ramdisk' certificate may be packed into the 'boot' image if
product configuration doesn't have 'init_boot' image, this is only for
testing purposes and would be removed eventually.

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For an outdated reference on Android.mk files, see build-system.html.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