Raise SDK version for ProGuard processing when app links support library.
When an app's LOCAL_SDK_VERSION is lower than the support library's
LOCAL_SDK_VERSION, we artifically raises the "SDK version" "linked"
by ProGuard, to
- suppress ProGuard warnings of referencing symbols unknown to the
lower SDK version.
- prevent ProGuard stripping subclass in the support library that
extends class added in the higher SDK version.
This allows us to remove the dangerous ProGuard flag
"-dontwarn android.support.**".
Notes:
- We don't raise the app's LOCAL_SDK_VERSION, so that the app's own
code is still unable to use the higher SDK version.
- For platform build, we can't just raise to the "current" SDK,
because would break apps that use APIs removed from the current SDK.
We raise it to framework.jar instead, which contains the most complete
symbol set.
