Fix reference values not being resolved against frameworks
This Apktool issue has existed for a long time and is especially prevalent with ROMs with multiple frameworks.
The issue happens because Apktool treats reference values inside XMLs (like layouts) as raw text values, and doesn't resolve them during decompile time. This causes some values to be misformed, but more importantly, this causes values referencing to secondary frameworks to not be resolved with their source frameworks, which also means the framework ID won't be added to usesFramework.ids in apktool.yml, and that breaks recompiling.
The interesting thing is that reference values are actually being resolved when they are located in value resources, like styles, thus presenting an inconsistent behavior.
This simple mod eliminates the "rawValue" for reference values, and that forces the "value" (resource ID) to resolve against the respective frameworks, fixing misformed values in the process.
