Description
The elf note should contain a boolean indicating whether the platform version targeted was a preview or final API level for the given NDK. This can be used as a signal to protect users from accidentally shipping apps that use non-final APIs.
We should also add something to the meta directory that explains which if any of the APIs are currently previews.
@enh-google want to take care of this since you're messing with ELF notes anyway?

Research direction
Locate the code that writes the ELF note and inspect the existing metadata under the meta directory. Add the preview-status information described in the issue and verify that the note and metadata expose whether targeted APIs are preview or final.
