All the changes outside libs.versions.toml and examples were
because of ErrorProne. It didn't actually find anything to fix; signal
vs noise has gotten pretty bad with the newer checks.
Status was changed for ErrorProne's SuperCallToObjectMethod. With the
old code it didn't notice the trivial implementation. The fail-for-test
code wasn't used, so it was easiest to just remove it.
Some of the libs had their versions inlined; now that we have
:checkForUpdates it isn't much of a risk for versions to diverge when
there's only a few artifacts sharing a version. If we need 4+ artifacts
to have the same version, then it makes sense to still use a shared
version.
Dependencies not upgraded: google-auth-libray, mockito, netty, cronet
Per https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14#beta-3, Android U has reached the platform stability milestone which means that all external APIs are finalized.
We can thus bump the compileSdkVersion to 34 (U) and begin using APIs added there. We leave targetSdkVersion unchanged for now to avoid the broader evaluation of whether deeper changes may be necessary as part of the upgrade; this simply allows compile-time access to newer APIs without changing runtime behavior.

The version used by protoc-gen-grpc-java will be upgraded separately,
because of large C++ build changes necessary. But that won't impact
users at all. We are upgrading to protoc 22.3; only the grpc plugin is
not upgraded.
Bazel is upgraded for both Java and C++.
This is the latest version of the plugin supported by the Gradle version
in use at the moment (7.6).
Note that this also upgrades the R8 optimizer to a version (4.0.48) that
now uses "full mode" optimization by default.
This also splits off Android projects to run under Java 11 (Gradle
plugin requirement) while the other projects continue to run under Java
8.
Add android:exported="true" tag to activities/services/receivers that specify an intent filter.
Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for `android:exported` when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. Future versions of the manifest merger, as well as the Android platform and the Playstore enforce this.
Android Gradle plugin bumped to 4.2.0 in examples, for Gradle 7 compat
and to match main build.
Jib 3 changed default base image away from distroless, but we do want
to use distroless.
Protobuf uses Guava 30.1.1, so I upgrade it at the same time. It also
caused an update to rules_jvm_external and reworking the Bazel build.
Protobuf no longer requires bind() so they were dropped. Although
Protobuf's protobuf_deps() brings in rules_jvm_external, and so we don't
need to define it ourselves, it seems better to define it directly and
not depend on transitive deps since we use it directly.
Protobuf now has support for maven_install() by exposing
PROTOBUF_MAVEN_ARTIFACTS, which required reorganizing the WORKSPACE to
use maven_install() after loading protobuf. Protobuf still doesn't
define target overrides for itself so we still maintain those. When
reorganizing the WORKSPACE I noticed http_archive should ideally be
above io_grpc_grpc_java as most users will need it there, so I fixed
that since there were lots of other load()-reordering already.
