NameResolverRegistry takes on all the logic previously in
NameResolverProvider. But it also allows manual registration of
NameResolvers, which is useful when the providers have complex
construction or need objects injected into them.
This also avoids a circular dependency during class loading since
previously loading any Provider searched for all Providers via
ClassLoader since ClassLoader handling was static within the parent
class.
Fixes#5562
io.grpc has fewer dependencies than io.grpc.internal. Moving it to a
separate artifact lets users use the API without bringing in the deps.
If the library has an optional dependency on grpc, that can be quite
convenient.
We now version-pin both grpc-api and grpc-core, since both contain
internal APIs.
I had to change a few tests in grpc-api to avoid FakeClock. Moving
FakeClock to grpc-api was difficult because it uses
io.grpc.internal.TimeProvider, which can't be moved since it is a
production class. Having grpc-api's tests depend on grpc-core's test
classes would be weird and cause a circular dependincy. Having
grpc-api's tests depend on grpc-core is likely possible, but weird and
fairly unnecessary at this point. So instead I rewrote the tests to
avoid FakeClock.
