For Versions < 7.0: Unsupported Resource Type "Macro" in "com.google.android.material:material:1.7.0"

[EdbertChan]

Addresses: #17345

This is a bit of a hack. The jars were modified with Recaf to add the "macro" enum and recognize it when compiling material from upstream.

The more proper way is to take the source code of material, add the line, and then recompile and upload it to Bazel binary. This pull request just exists to unblock efforts.

However, should it be done the proper way, it should yield the same result and the binary will probably not change.

Per my comment in the original issue:

It looks like this will be fixed and addressed in "com.android.tools.layoutlib:layoutlib-api:30.1.3"

However, it was introduced in this commit which is only available in 7.0

Either this should be backported or the 7.0 timeline should be escalated.

I have opened up a pull request for people who are still on < 7.0 and need to be unblocked. However, note that this packaged layoutlib will be deleted eventually.
