Stub Annotations
The annotations in these packages are used to compile
the stubs. They are mostly identical to the annotations
in the support library, but
(1) There are some annotations here which are not in
the support library, such as @RecentlyNullable and
@RecentlyNonNull. These are used *only* in the stubs
to automatically mark code as recently annotated
with null/non-null. We do *not* want these annotations
in the source code; the recent-ness is computed at
build time and injected into the stubs in place
of the normal null annotations.
(2) There are some annotations in the support library
that do not apply here, such as @Keep,
@VisibleForTesting, etc.
(3) Only class retention annotations are interesting for
the stubs; that means for example that we don't
include @IntDef and @StringDef.
(4) We've tweaked the retention of some of the support
library annotations; some of them were accidentally
source retention, and here they are class retention.
(5) We've tweaked the nullness annotations to include
TYPE_PARAMETER and TYPE_USE targets, and removed
package, local variable, annotation type, etc.
(6) There are some other differences; for example, the
@RequiresPermission annotation here has an extra
"apis" field used for merged historical annotations
to express the applicable API range.
Essentially, this is a curated list of exactly the
set of annotations we allow injected into the stubs.
