ac2b4cd2cb Use _client and _server for Audio HAL policy
This starts the switch for HAL policy to the approach where:
* domains which are clients of Foo HAL are associated with
  hal_foo_client attribute,
* domains which offer the Foo HAL service over HwBinder are
  associated with hal_foo_server attribute,
* policy needed by the implementation of Foo HAL service is written
  against the hal_foo attribute. This policy is granted to domains
  which offer the Foo HAL service over HwBinder and, if Foo HAL runs
  in the so-called passthrough mode (inside the process of each
  client), also granted to all domains which are clients of Foo HAL.
  hal_foo is there to avoid duplicating the rules for hal_foo_client
  and hal_foo_server to cover the passthrough/in-process Foo HAL and
  binderized/out-of-process Foo HAL cases.

A benefit of associating all domains which are clients of Foo HAL with
hal_foo (when Foo HAL is in passthrough mode) is that this removes the
need for device-specific policy to be able to reference these domains
directly (in order to add device-specific allow rules). Instead,
device-specific policy only needs to reference hal_foo and should no
longer need to care which particular domains on the device are clients
of Foo HAL. This can be seen in simplification of the rules for
audioserver domain which is a client of Audio HAL whose policy is
being restructured in this commit.

This commit uses Audio HAL as an example to illustrate the approach.
Once this commit lands, other HALs will also be switched to this
approach.
