[FEATURE] Add 'flexBundle'-flag in the manifest via generateFlexChangeBundle

[Lonwyr]

Add 'flexBundle'-flag in the manifest via generateFlexChangeBundle task.

Currently, the runtime checks the existence of the flexibility-bundle.json depending on the preloading of the bundle itself. This preload of all component sources may not be in time for annotation changes, which are part of the preprocessing and require a more explicit hint, if the bundle is present and should be requested. This commit adds this hint with a flag in the "sap.ui5" subsection in the manifest.

JIRA: CPOUI5FOUNDATION-1125

The name of the flag is currently on review within the manifest-schema and as soon as the final go is given, the draft flag will be removed. All other code is "ready for review".

If I understand this correctly, this requires a new property in the manifest schema. Doesn't this also mean, that the property can only be added when the existing manifest.json uses an _version that supports this new property? Otherwise the manifest can't be validated against the schema.

This flag will be set by the builder. It must not be set by the developer directly, so it is not relevant for linting

It will be set by the builder directly and not set by the developer. It is not a decision by the developer, but a fact if the developer created entities part of the flexibility-bundle.json which is then build and present in the app and its -preload.

The manifest schema change is approved and merged.

@matz: as @MatthiasSchmalz mentions, it is related to the manfiest-version, but having the flag does not hurt and potentially even helps, if present. Thus, I prefer keeping it independent of the version.
