Reinitializing system properties can result in crashes later in the
program, and is generally not recommended or even supported. This
change moves the actual logic for system properties into a class that
can be tested in isolation, without reinitializing the actual system
property area used in libc.

pa_size should be static to prop_area, so make it so.
__system_property_area__ was reused for various purposes, but
realistically is a deprecated symbol and this finally separates us
from it.

system_properties.cpp is a little bit unmanageable in its current
form, and is overdue for a refactoring into more clearly defined
components.
Of particular interest, is creating of a Contexts interface that
handles mapping of system property name -> SEContext and its
associated prop_area, and creating two classes that implement the
current and legacy functionality. This is needed as there will likely
be a third even newer way to do this mapping.
