Writing to the AndroidManifest.xml file is a necessary step in moving towards a gradle-based build system that can export Android App Bundles. To do this, we will use manifest merging so we can avoid parsing the already existing manifest file. For more details on the final scope of this project, read this comment.

This PR builds on top of many previous PRs I've submitted. There are a lot of changes that need to be made to move towards a Gradle-based build system, so I have broken these changes into smaller, more understandable steps.
