Support incremental annotation processing

[stephanenicolas]

Gradle 4.7 provides support for incremental annotation processing.
https://docs.gradle.org/nightly/userguide/java_plugin.html#sec:incremental_annotation_processing
Gradle feature discussion: gradle/gradle#1320

It would be nice to see glide's annotation processor supporting it.

I started to have a look at the code and I was surprised to find such a complex annotation processing. I don't think I can do the PR quickly by myself. But I would be happy to provide all the information I can to help a maintainer doing it.

@sjudd I can help with it, but I as stated above, I can't do it myself. The glide AP is a bit of a monster. But I can be free for a chat. Maybe hangout ? Just find my personal email on the web and ping me there if you wanna talk about it.

Is it happening? or just forgotten?

@stephanenicolas Hi Stéphane, I am going to work on it and it would be great if you can help. I find it is an aggregating AP(e.g. Looking all types annotated with @GlideExtension to create GlideOptions.java and other source files). But it violates "Aggregating AP can only read CLASS or RUNTIME retention annotations" because @GlideExtension and @GlideModule are SOURCE retention annotations. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks @sjudd

Hi @sjudd sorry, but it's à base timing. I am taking a month off. I can't help. Everything should vers pretty well documented on gradle's website. I must say I got some doubts about the possibility of making glide's AP incremental. I am not sure but it looks like an aggregating AP. Don't take my words for granted though! Good luck ! Si.
