The behaviour is semantically identical, however,
the tool additionally sorts the symbols by address,
compresses frame unwind information more efficiently,
and improves random-accessibility for lazy decompression.
Overall, the changes balance and the output size is same,
however, libunwindstack can access the data much faster
while using less memory (due to the lazy decompression).
It will also enable further improvements in the future.

The section is stripped from binaries (but preserved in /symbols).
However, is it also unintentionally copied into the minidebuginfo
compressed section, which is included in the final shipped binary.
(This does not affect symtab symbols, which are handled as usual)
Removing it from mini-debug-info shrinks some rust binaries by
up to 10x, saving >10MB on the system partition overall (AOSP).
Test: extract minidebuginfo and check it manually with readelf

This allows the compression to be done on multiple threads
and more importantly, it allows libunwindstack to decompress
only the needed blocks, which reduces unwind time and memory.

We rely on a weird, GNU specific behaviour of objcopy:
$ aarch64-linux-android-objcopy -w libgcc.a stripped.a --strip-unneeded-symbol=*
$ llvm-nm --defined-only stripped.a | grep multi
0000000000000000 T __multi3
$ aarch64-linux-android-objcopy -w libgcc.a stripped.a --strip-unneeded-symbol=* --keep-symbol=FOO
$ llvm-nm --defined-only stripped.a | grep multi
llvm-objcopy has a different, more consistent behaviour that does not
mark exported symbols as unneeded when "--keep-symbol" flag exists.
However this behaviour will leave most symbols not deleted in the
libgcc_stripped library.
Revert the change while I'm implementing an alternative solution.

When no-vendor-variant VNDK is enabled, the vendor variant of VNDK
libraries are not installed. Since not all VNDK libraries will be
ready for this, we keep a list of library names in cc/vndk.go to
indicate which libraries must have their vendor variants always
installed regardless of whether no-vendor-variant VNDK is enabled.
Also add --remove-build-id option to the strip script to facilitate
the check of functional identity of the two variants.

If there are no symbols to keep (i.e. all function symbols are also in
the dynsym table), then the "${outfile}.keep_symbols" file has size 0.
When objcopy parses a --keep-symbols file, it has a special case for
0-sized files where it silently fails (exits with status 1, no error
message). On the other hand, objcopy is happy with a file containing no
symbols, as long as there is some whitespace or a comment. Avoid the
special case by appending a newline to keep_symbols.
