Prototype XML view compiler
This is an initial step towards a tool for pre-compiling layout XML files. It
accepts an XML file and produces a Java language class called CompiledView with
a static method, inflate. Calling CompiledView.inflate should then return a view
object that is equivalent to calling LayoutInflater.inflate on the same
resource.
There are still several important limitations, but this works well enough to do
some experimentation. The limitations include:
* Currently only one layout can be compiled at a time.
* `merge` and `include` nodes are not supported.
* View compilation is a manual process that requires code changes in the
application.
* The tests in this CL do not yet exercise any interesting behavior.
