One of the major aspects of treble is the compartmentalization of system
and vendor components, however init leaves a huge gap here, as vendor
init scripts run in the same context as system init scripts and thus can
access and modify the same properties, files, etc as the system can.
This change is meant to close that gap. It forks a separate 'subcontext'
init that runs in a different SELinux context with permissions that match
what vendors should have access to. Commands get sent over a socket to
this 'subcontext' init that then runs them in this SELinux context and
returns the result.
Note that not all commands run in the subcontext; some commands such as
those dealing with services only make sense in the context of the main
init process.

We currently throw out the return values from builtin functions and
occasionally log errors with no supporting context. This change uses
the newly introduced Result<T> class to communicate a successful result
or an error back to callers in order to print an error with clear
context when a builtin fails.
Example:
init: Command 'write /sys/class/leds/vibrator/trigger transient' action=init (/init.rc:245) took 0ms and failed: Unable to write to file '/sys/class/leds/vibrator/trigger': open() failed: No such file or directory
Test: boot bullhead

This change splits out the selinux initialization and supporting
functionality into selinux.cpp and splits the security related
initialization of the rng, etc to security.cpp. It also provides
additional documentation for SEPolicy loading as this has been
requested by some teams.
It additionally cleans up sehandle and sehandle_prop. The former is
static within selinux.cpp and new wrapper functions are created around
selabel_lookup*() to better serve the users. The latter is moved to
property_service.cpp as it is isolated to that file for its usage.
