Some legacy implementations of the effects HAL use the condition
of the reply buffer being NULL as an indication that they shouldn't
apply attenuation to the input audio data. Therefore, separate
methods are needed to distinguish the use cases of delegating the
volume control to the effect, and just informing the effect of the
volume changes.
A new method added to IEffect: volumeChangeNotification that implements
the second use case. The contract of setAndGetVolume method has been
updated to indicate that it is only called in the first use case.
Also updated the wrapper for a generic IEffect commands to pass NULL
pointers to the command and reply buffers in case when the size
of the input or output data is 0, to preserve compatibility with
direct calls from the framework.

Test: volume control works when both Bass Boost and Equalizer are
enabled in the NXP implementation of the effects

Result: no hwbinder calls due music processing.
Added IEffect.close method for explicitly freeing up of resources
consumed by the effect before automatic server objects reaping
gets to it.
Added IEffect.setProcessBuffers method for updating the input /
output buffers on the go.
Test: make, use Play Music with effects, check traces

Changes made to the .hal definition:
- added missing generated Result for methods implemented via legacy
"command" function;
- fixed Aux Channels feature definition;
- added "size" parameter for reply data in cases where the wrapper
needs to allocate a reply buffer;
- added method for generic support of feature configs;
- added new Result type;
- use arrays instead of strings in effect descriptor to ease
conversion from / to legacy HAL;
- added missing method to the Preset Reverb interface;
- fixed names of the Visualizer enums to avoid clashes with defines
from the legacy HAL file.
The implementation isn't hooked up to the server yet. Need to implement
devices and streams first.
