a7db90f32d Move /system dependency on tz_version to bionic
Move /system dependency on tz_version to bionic from core-libart.

The file is not used by code but is useful on device to identify
the format / version / origin of the tzdata file. The
tz_version file identifies the Android release (e.g. 3.1 == Q), which
implies the version of zic used to generate tzdata, and any Android
revision of the tzdata (e.g. 2019a v2) that may have taken place. The
file was previously used by by the tzdatacheck binary but it has since
switched to using the copy in the runtime module.

The bionic README.md is also updated here to reflect latest locations of
scripts.

0bfcbaf4d0 Add new status document, based on internal wiki.
Also start breaking up the monolithic top level README.md, pulling the
32-bit ABI stuff out into its own file, and moving the remaining benchmark
documentation in with the rest of the benchmark documentation.

63860cb8fd Malloc debug rewrite.
The major components of the rewrite:

- Completely remove the qemu shared library code. Nobody was using it
  and it appears to have broken at some point.
- Adds the ability to enable/disable different options independently.
- Adds a new option that can enable the backtrace on alloc/free when
  a process gets a specific signal.
- Adds a new way to enable malloc debug. If a special property is
  set, and the process has an environment variable set, then debug
  malloc will be enabled. This allows something that might be
  a derivative of app_process to be started with an environment variable
  being enabled.
- get_malloc_leak_info() used to return one element for each pointer that
  had the exact same backtrace. The new version returns information for
  every one of the pointers with same backtrace. It turns out ddms already
  automatically coalesces these, so the old method simply hid the fact
  that there where multiple pointers with the same amount of backtrace.
- Moved all of the malloc debug specific code into the library.
  Nothing related to the malloc debug data structures remains in libc.
- Removed the calls to the debug malloc cleanup routine. Instead, I
  added an atexit call with the debug malloc cleanup routine. This gets
  around most problems related to the timing of doing the cleanup.

The new properties and environment variables:

libc.debug.malloc.options
  Set by option name (such as "backtrace"). Setting this to a bad value
  will cause a usage statement to be printed to the log.

libc.debug.malloc.program
  Same as before. If this is set, then only the program named will
  be launched with malloc debug enabled. This is not a complete match,
  but if any part of the property is in the program name, malloc debug is
  enabled.

libc.debug.malloc.env_enabled
  If set, then malloc debug is only enabled if the running process has the
  environment variable LIBC_DEBUG_MALLOC_ENABLE set.

79b9830b1d Markdown-ify 5137db3.
Most of these are just aesthetic, but the `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS` probably
would have rendered partly as italics and skipped some underscores.

GitHub's Markdown also doesn't identify our bug URLs as links, so mark
them explicitly.
