HALs are prohibited from using framework binder, and there is
no equivalent scheduling policy service in hwbinder. Thus, in order
to match priorities of FastCapture / Mixer threads with their
counterparts in the HAL, it is needed to request the priority boost
from audioflinger on behalf of the HAL.

Test: check priority match between audioflinger's and hal's threads
When outputting audio, the framework issues several HAL calls
from the same thread that writes into data FMQ. These calls
also need to be served on the same thread that writes audio data
to HAL. The same thing happens when audio input is commenced.
Add a command FMQ for passing different commands to the HAL thread.
This way, depending on the calling thread, the same call may go
either via hwbinder or via the command queue.
This dramatically reduces jitter in RTT measurements (although
doesn't improve the latency).

Test: scripted RTT app
Change-Id: I04c826e2479d8210fd9c99756241156cda3143b6
Result: no hwbinder calls due read / write session.
Added IStream.close method for explicitly freeing up of resources
consumed by the stream before automatic server objects reaping
gets to it.
Test: make, perform Loopback RTT, check traces

Changes made to the .hal definition:
- introduce Effect ID returned by the IEffectsFactory that
needs to be passed to IStream.{add|remove}Effect; otherwise
it's impossible to retrieve the underlying HAL effect handle;
- change "bus address" in DeviceAddress to "string" type;
- fix signature of some methods w.r.t. returning Result;
- remove unused "struct AudioPatch".

Test: make

Created after hardware/audio.h with the following changes:
- names changed to satisfy HAL style guide;
- defined getter / setter methods for properties, and interfaces
for devices where needed;
- stream out callback changed to be used over RPC;
- 'dump' method is already defined by BBinder, so in HAL
interfaces it is replaced by 'debugDump'.
Note that audio data is currently transferred using byte buffer,
which is not effective due to memory copy and HwBinder transaction
involved. The transfer method will be changed to FastMessageQueue.
