Fix #3810: Fix splash screen freeze on Android 11 #3866

Explanation

Fix #3810

This PR fixes the issue where the app hangs on the splash screen for Android 11 & 12 (and possibly also 10 given the context). The root cause is that we're now shipping a Bazel-built version of the app, and as such we're manually managing our own Proguard files. #3865 is now tracking generating the Proguard definition from specific libraries to avoid these sorts of situations in the future (given that the rules added here came from AndroidX's lifecycle library).

To repro the issue, download & install the alpha build of the app from the base PR's CI and compare it with the one produced by this PR's CI. The base PR should hang, but this one won't.

FWIW, I suspect that this has been an issue since we introduced the new alpha flavor of the app, but it's a regression since we previously shipped only Gradle versions of the app.

Finally, this is a change that can only reasonably be manually tested, so no automated testing has been added.

There are a lot of details to cover here--see the PR for the complete
context.
- Add missing codeowner
- Add support for configuring base branch reference
- Update CI for dev/alpha AAB builds to use 'develop' since there's no
  origin configured by default in the workflows
This is needed to open a PR on GitHub. This commit is being made so that
the PR can start off in a broken Actions state.

This also initially disables most non-Bazel workflows to make workflow
iteration faster and less impacting on other team members.
This introduces a new mechanism for passing lists of tests to sharded
test targets in CI, and hooks it up. No actual sharding is occurring
yet. This led to some simplifications in the CI workflow since the
script can be more dynamic in computing the full list of targets (which
also works around a previous bug with instrumentation tests being run).
Java proto lite also needed to be upgraded for the scripts to be able to
use it.

More testing/documentation needed as this functionality continues to
expand.
This simply partitions bucketed groups of targets into chunks of 10 for
each run. Only 3 buckets are currently retained to test sharding in CI
before introducing full support.
Fixes some caching bucket and output bugs. Also, introduces while loop &
keep_going to introduce resilience against app test build failures (or
just test failures in general).
Also, enable other workflows.

Note that CI shouldn't fully pass yet since some documentation and
testing needs to be added yet, but this is meant to be a more realistic
test of the CI environment before the PR is finished.
Adds a human-readable prefix to make the shards look a bit nicer.

Also, adds more fine-tuned partitioning to bucket & reduce shard counts
to improve overall timing. Will need to be tested in CI.
A newly computed variable wasn't updated to be used in an earlier
change.
Add docstrings for proto.
…/oppia-android into add-bundles-proguard-build-flavors
Neither 'mv -t' nor piping to mv work on OSX so we needed to find an
alternative (in this case just trying to move everything). This actually
works a bit better since it's doing a per-file move rather than
accommodating for files that shouldn't be moved (which isn't an issue
since the destination directory is different than the one containing the
AAB file).
Documentation, thorough tests, and detailed description of these changes
are still needed.
This demonstrates working string selection for system-based and
overwritten app languages, including necessary activity recreation &
layout direction overwriting.

This also includes a bunch of Dagger infra refactoring so that some app
layer packages can now be modularized (including the new packages).
…o localization-part5-introduce-app-string-translations-support-and-refactor
This involves MANY broad changes to ensure consistent string retrieval
(for arrays and plurals), formatting, and string transformations
throughout the codebase. Some extra patterns to added to fix things that
were needed, and a few issues were fixed along the way.

FYI @anandwana001 I removed a TODO on #3800 (in 59518ac) per #3800 (comment). I figure this is an innocuous enough change to not require another review & it's not worth making a separate PR for it, but giving you the heads-up. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
