TestRequestBuilder uses Class.forName to load the legacy Suppress annotation and other annotation classes. The call sites currently only catch ClassNotFoundException, but according to the reference docs Class.forName can also throw LinkageError e.g. NoClassDefFoundError. There has been a report of TestRequestBuilder.maybeAddLegacySuppressFilter throwing a fatal NoClassDefFoundError when used with AGP 9.4.0-alpha03. See issuetracker bug 536117227 To make androidx.test.runner more resilient to class loading issues, this commit expands the catch block to also catch Linkage errors PiperOrigin-RevId: 954713113

Catch LinkageError in addition to ClassNotFoundErrors.
TestRequestBuilder uses Class.forName to load the legacy
Suppress annotation and other annotation classes.
The call sites currently only catch ClassNotFoundException, but according
to the reference docs Class.forName can also throw LinkageError
e.g. NoClassDefFoundError.
There has been a report of TestRequestBuilder.maybeAddLegacySuppressFilter throwing a fatal NoClassDefFoundError when used with AGP 9.4.0-alpha03. See issuetracker bug 536117227
To make androidx.test.runner more resilient to class loading issues,
