Nick Alexander 2905771b59 Bug 1137898 - Migrate to android:versionCode scheme v1. r=rnewman,snorp
Android version codes serve multiple masters.  They indicate newer
versions, yes; but they also break ties between versions with
different features and requirements. High order bits effectively
partition the space of versions and are valuable.  Since Android
version codes are signed Java integers, we have 31 bits to work with.
Mozilla's traditional build ID is YYYYMMDDhhmmss.  This was chopped to
ten characters (YYYYMMDDhh, i.e., hourly build IDs) and then converted
to a decimal.  This took many high order bits.  We will lose another
high order bit in the 36th month of 2015 -- i.e., as soon as the year
rolls over to 2016.  If we waited to lose the next higher order bit,
we'd lose that one in the 46th month of 2017 -- i.e., as soon as the
year rolls over to 2018.

The following patch sacrifices a high order bit to change the version
scheme, winning us roughly 15 years of hourly build IDs before we are
forced to lose another high order bit.  So it's clearly to our
advantage to change the scheme sooner rather than later -- we will
sacrifice 1 bit for 15 years of build IDs, rather than keeping the
current scheme and sacrificing (say) 2 bits for 3 years of build IDs.

The resulting scheme produces build IDs that look like (in binary):

0111 1000 0010 tttt tttt tttt tttt txpg

The meaning of these build IDs is documented in the Python source code
that generates them.

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
