Based on work previously done in #522 , this PR aims to build and distribute a reduced in size runtime package when a project dependency does not explicitly state that it consumes API exposed by the JavaScript engine (V8)
The optimizations come mostly from stripping the V8 symbol table, and account for about 3MB reduction in package size, combined, when all 3 supported android architectures are packed.
The optimized android runtime package will be used by default on android projects unless a dependency (nativescript plugin) has the
useV8symbols: true
key (subject to approval) inside their package.json's nativescript object, in which case the regular runtime distribution will be packed with the APK.Depends on NativeScript/nativescript-cli#2138
