Why
Side-by-side mode was an RDK feature that we rushed in order to support local modules under the odd execution rules of android OS. We fast-followed with meta-in-tarball which is now the standard. Side-by-side has been deprecated for a while; I'm removing now because APP-8193 requires touching these code paths, and will be simpler without the third case.
How they differ:
mymodule/module.tar.gz
and amymodule/meta.json
next to itentrypoint
field takes precedence over what's specified in cloud
