Compose compiler

New features

• c1bbb47 Started inferring the stability of all interfaces to be
  Stability.Unknown, expect for those explicitly marked as known
  stable.

Fixes

• b/511102714 Made the default stability of non-final classes Unknown
  instead of Stable

  element depends on the stability of an internal or public class
  defined in another file, the element will no longer infer the
  stability of that class and will depend on the runtime stability of
  that class instead.
