Multi-user MTP.
The current MTP kernel driver at /dev/mtp_usb is exclusive, meaning only one process can have it open. In addition, each MTP session with a desktop requires unique object IDs, which doesn't hold true across users on the device. To solve these two issues, when switching users we cycle the USB host stack to disconnect both local and remote MTP connections, giving the new user's media process a chance to claim /dev/mtp_usb, and causing the desktop to initiate a new MTP session. This change also allows BroadcastReceivers to registerReceiver() allow retrieval of a current sticky broadcast. Adds a system property to override maximum users. Removes MOUNTED broadcasts for secondary users. Allows INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS to getCurrentUser(). Bug: 6925114 Change-Id: I02b4a1b535af95fb2142655887b6d15a8068d18a
