Add Context.getNoBackupFilesDir()
This is an app-private filesystem space exactly like the one reported by Context.getFilesDir(), with one exception: files placed here are never backed up by the full-backup infrastructure. If an app attempts to back up any of its contents via the normal API it's immediately ignored with a logged warning. The restriction is also enforced on the restore side, because apps using support libraries might wind up creating full backup archives containing no_backup subdirs on pre-L devices (via adb backup, Helium, &c.). We check for this before passing the restore data to the app, and drop it if we detect the situation so that the app never sees the bits.
