This module introduces support for running GlanceAppWidgets from multiple processes, with the WorkManager multiprocess library ("androidx.work:work-multiprocess").
Developers can define a widget using the RemoteGlanceAppWidget class, which allows them to specify the component name of the RemoteWorkerService it will run in, as well as the component names of action receivers and RemoteViewsService. These components must then be set to the same process as the GlanceAppWidgetReceiver in the manifest.
This way, developers can choose to provide different widgets from different processes.
