Create new android_instrumentation rule.

This rule is responsible for building the target and instrumentation APKs used by an Android instrumentation test. If they are provided as APKs (e.g. from an android_binary or a genrule) they will be used as is. If they are provided as libraries, APKs will be created. This CL does not actually implement building target and instrumentation APKs from libraries, that will come in a follow-up CL as it will require some heavy refactoring of AndroidBinary.java.

Follow-up CLs will add features such as repackaging the APKs to remove duplicate classes, reproguarding the target APK with the test code, validating that the target and instrumentation APKs were signed with the same debug key and verifying that instrumentation stanza appears in the instrumentation APKs manifest.

Note that this CL does _not_ install the rule in the BazelRuleClassProvider, so
this CL does not make it usable by anyone. Once the other android testing rules are ready, I will install them all.

One small step towards https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/903.

Bazel (Beta)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:

  • A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.

  • An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

  • Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
