Optimized Frame Pacing increases APK file size when Project is Built

2023.1.0a24 onwards

Enabling it adds additional library, so it's expected for size to increase. Previously it was always included into player, even when not used.

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached Project “BugRepro”
2. Navigate to Player Settings > Settings for Android and disable Optimized Frame Pacing
3. Build the Project
4. Enable the Optimized Frame Pacing and Build the Project with a different name, to keep both APK files
5. Compare the APK file sizes

Expected result: APK file size stays consistent with or without Optimized Frame Pacing enabled
Actual result: APK file size increases by around 20% when Optimized Frame Pacing is enabled

Reproducible with: 2023.1.0a24, 2023.1.0b9, 2023.2.0a9
Not reproducible with: 2020.3.47f1, 2021.3.23f1, 2022.2.16f1, 2023.1.0a23

Reproducible on: macOS 12.6 (Intel)
