Add receiver flag enforcement workaround for apps targeting U
Android T allows apps to declare a runtime receiver as not exported by invoking registerReceiver with a new RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED flag; receivers registered with this flag will only receive broadcasts from the platform and the app itself. However to ensure developers can properly protect their receivers, all apps targeting U or later registering a receiver for non-system broadcasts must specify either the exported or not exported flag when invoking #registerReceiver; if one of these flags is not provided, the platform will throw a SecurityException. Some apps have already begun targeting U but have not yet flagged their exposed receivers; this commit adds an exemption for these apps to prevent them from crashing due to this new enforcement while their receivers are updated. Bug: 258849947 Test: Manually verified affected packages did not crash with enforcement Change-Id: Iaa5b48f874e3aa9657b2dfd9fd2e34fe782a5a23
