Add support for text range selectors (#2518)

This adds support for the [text range selector](https://lottiefiles.github.io/lottie-docs/text/#text-range-selector) type, which allows a [text style](https://lottiefiles.github.io/lottie-docs/text/#text-style) to be applied to a certain range of the text, defined by a start, end, and offset.

The text range selector implementation currently has the following limitations:
- Only text layers drawn using a Font are supported. Adding support for the glyph draw path may be possible, but I don't have a sample Lottie file.
- Only one text range is currently supported per text layer, as the parser [drops all other entries in the array](https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-android/blob/c4cb2254eca3c70199f1de5e39e3872c8c42e473/lottie/src/main/java/com/airbnb/lottie/parser/LayerParser.java#L194-L196).
- Only index-based ranges are supported - percentage-based ranges are also allowed in the spec.
- Only ranges based on characters are supported. The [spec](https://lottiefiles.github.io/lottie-docs/constants/#text-based) allows characters, characters excluding spaces, words, and lines.
- Other options like easing (allows styling characters that are partially inside the range), randomize, and [shape](https://lottiefiles.github.io/lottie-docs/constants/#text-shape) of the range are not currently supported.

This also adds support for the opacity as an animatable text property which is applied multiplicatively with the transform opacity and the parent's alpha.

Partially addresses https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-android/issues/485.

Lottie for Android, iOS, React Native, Web, and Windows

Build Status

Lottie is a mobile library for Android and iOS that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin and renders them natively on mobile!

For the first time, designers can create and ship beautiful animations without an engineer painstakingly recreating it by hand. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words so here are 13,000:

Contributing

Because development has started for Lottie Compose, Gradle, and the Android Gradle Plugin will be kept up to date with the latest canaries. This also requires you to use Android Studio Canary builds. Preview builds can be installed side by side with stable versions.
