Add LOCAL_SOONG_SYMBOL_PATH

The soong-only variable is used to specify the location where the symbol
file is located. When unspecified, LOCAL_MODULE_PATH is used instead as
before.

This is needed when the path that a file is installed to is different
from the path that the file is accessed from at runtime. For example, if
TARGET_FLATTEN_APEX=true, a file lib/libX.so in an APEX com.android.foo
is installed to /system/apex/com.android.foo/lib/libX.so. However, it's
runtime path is /apex/com.android.foo/lib/libX.so as
/system/apex/com.android.foo is bind-mounted to /apex/com,android.foo.

Bug: 120846816
Test: m and inspect that symbol files exist under
$(PRODUCT_OUT)/symbols/apex/com.android.runtime/

Android Make Build System

This is the Makefile-based portion of the Android Build System.

For documentation on how to run a build, see Usage.txt

For a list of behavioral changes useful for Android.mk writers see Changes.md

For an outdated reference on Android.mk files, see build-system.html. Our Android.mk files look similar, but are entirely different from the Android.mk files used by the NDK build system. When searching for documentation elsewhere, ensure that it is for the platform build system -- most are not.

This Makefile-based system is in the process of being replaced with Soong, a new build system written in Go. During the transition, all of these makefiles are read by Kati, and generate a ninja file instead of being executed directly. That's combined with a ninja file read by Soong so that the build graph of the two systems can be combined and run as one.
