Master Release - March 12, 2020

Do not check Facebook app links unless feature is explicitly enabled
Introduce Branch.sessionBuilder().<...>.init() to replace all overloaded variations of initSession
Introduce Branch.expectDelayedSessionInitialization(boolean) which disables session self-initialization in RESUMED state, users MUST initialize themselves when using this method
Introduce Branch.sessionBuilder().withDelay(X_MILLIS) to facilitate delaying session initialization until user calls branchInstance.removeSessionInitializationDelay() or X_MILLIS pass.
Prevent duplicated session initialization in certain intra-app linking scenarios
Collect OAID from HMS when available
Prevent potential NPE in the CPID API
Improvements in instant deep-linking

Remove initialization race conditions.
Only self-initialize sessions if user has not done so and some Activity is entering the RESUMED state.
Start returning an error on consecutive session initializations. Note, this means users who require deeplinking functionality now must call initSession() from LauncherActivity.onStart() (the requirement was already implied in the documentation, though was not enforced, the SDK was returning latestReferringParams instead, which users in need of a workaround can still do).
Overload reInitSession with different callbacks and start advertising it to users as the official way to handle session reinitialization in cases where activity is in foreground and is being reopened.
Make sure carrier field does not contain an empty string, omit the field instead.
Introduce test plan for SDK initialization.
