android_system_image module type is a specialization of the
android_filesystem module type. Currently, it adds a build rule for
creating linker.config.pb from the information about all the other files
in the filesystem and includes linker.config.pb to the filesystem as
well.
To do so, the filesystem module now provides a function pointer which
subtype modules like android_system_image can implement to pass extra
files that they want to package in the filesystem.
In addition, the linkerconfig package is revised to make it possible to
build linker.config.pb file outside of the package.

Test: m microdroid and inspect etc/linker.config.pb in it.

The module type is to create vbmeta image out of other partitions.

Test: m microdroid_vbmeta microdroid_vbmeta_system
Inspect the built image using `avbtool info_image --image <image>`

logical_partition builds a partition image (which is usually called
'super.img') out of one or more filesystem images.

The new module type is to build the boot partition images. Boot
partition image consists of kernel, ramdisk, dtb, etc. which are
processed by the mkbootimg tool. There are two flavors of boot
partition: boot and vendor_boot. The choice is configured via the
'vendor_boot' property. Currently, only `vendor_boot: true` case is
supported.

android_filesystem is a module type that can be used to create filesystem
images out of binaries built for Android. Its initial use will be for
creating an Android-like OS image to run on virtual machines, but the
use is not limited to it.
The module type currently lacks a lot of features like the support for
other filesystem types, and the ability to do something like signing the
image using avbtool, etc. Those will be added in follow-up CLs as we
have actual demands.
