Add timerfd backend to AlarmManagerService
On devices without /dev/alarm, use a new backend based on timerfd.
timerfd has near-equivalent syscalls for the /dev/alarm ioctls we care
about, with two key differences:
1) /dev/alarm uses one fd for all clocks, while timerfd needs one fd per
clock type.
AlarmManagerService addresses this by replacing the fd (int) with an
opaque pointer (long) to the backend-specific state.
2) When the RTC changes, the /dev/alarm WAIT ioctl always returns, while
timerfd cancels (and signals events) only on specially-flagged RTC
timerfds.
The timerfd backend masks this by creating an extraneous RTC timerfd,
specifically so there's always something to signal on RTC changes.
