Having two Helpers (the other being LoadBalancer.Helper) is proven to
be confusing, and the one in NameResolver is fundamentally different
from the one from LoadBalancer, as the latter mutates the states while
the former doesn't. Renaming it to Args make it less awkward to
expose it to LoadBalancer, which is needed for creating NameResolvers
for per-locality routing in the XdsLoadBalancer.
As we are now endorsing the wrapping of ClientStreamTracers by
providing ForwardingClientStreamTracer, there is a need for altering
StreamInfo, especially CallOptions before it's passed onto the
delegate. A Builder class and a toBuilder() provides a robust way
to copy the rest of the fields.
This is a breaking change for anybody who creates StreamInfo, which is
unlikely in non-test code, because StreamInfo was added as late as
1.20.0.

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.
