SurfaceFlinger: Add parent-less relative layering.
This is a temporary functionality for the intermediate state where not
all child-surface like things in WM land are ported to use Child
Surfaces. In particular, we have ported SurfaceView to use child
surfaces and relative Z ordering. However the TV frameworks provide a
View framework component which overlays views over the SurfaceView but
below the main application window. Since we have not ported View
framework surfaces to use child layers, there is nothing the WM or
View Framework can do about this situation. Luckily the WM API's to
have requested this are @hide but we have the one media framework
component using it. In order to solve this issue we provide a method
to set Z ordering relative to another window without inheriting
its coordinate space as a child window would. This way the WM can
recognize these TYPE_APPLICATION_MEDIA_OVERLAY windows and Z-order
them at -1 with respect to the parents (and the SurfaceView can be at
-2).
Test: Included in transaction tests. Also manual test of bug repro steps with accomp frameworks/base CL
