Quick ways to ensure app compatibility with Android Autofill

" summary

Android Autofill lands in Android 8.0 and about 30 Play Store apps act as autofill services; apps get autofill by default but should annotate views with autofill hints (username, password, creditCard, tel) and mark views to exclude via importanceForAutofill="noExcludeDescendants". Test with the provided sample services: the tiny Basic Service (under 200 lines) and the aggressive Debug Service. Also test service authentication flows and avoid rebuilding the view hierarchy on resume to prevent infinite reauth loops.
