Support updateable groups.
Adds updateable group support to OTA. * DeltaPerformer combines partition sizes with dynamic_partition_metadata to BootControlInterface::PartitionMetadata. * BootControlAndroid::InitPartitionMetadata: * Copy all groups / partitions from source metadata slot * Remove all groups / partitions mentioned in the manifest (of the target slot) * Re-add all groups / partitions mentioned in the manifest. * BootControlAndroid::InitPartitionMetadata can check the incoming PartitionMetadata to see if a partition is dynamic or not. The guessing logic is completely removed. * Because a partition is removed then re-added, there is no need for preserving the entry with size 0 to indicate that a partition is removed. When update_engine sees a partition in a group "foo" on the device, but manifest contains group "foo" without the partition, it removes the partition. * Hence, Removing a partition does NOT require keeping the entry (i.e. RemovePartition is used instead of ShrinkPartition(0) ). This makes retrofitting dynamic partitions on older devices easier. The following is now allowed: - Adding / removing / resizing partitions - Adding / resizing groups It is not allowed to remove a group, but a group can always be resized to zero to deprecate it.
