      Use _client and _server for Audio HAL policy · ac2b4cd2
      Alex Klyubin authored
      This starts the switch for HAL policy to the approach where:
      * domains which are clients of Foo HAL are associated with
        hal_foo_client attribute,
      * domains which offer the Foo HAL service over HwBinder are
        associated with hal_foo_server attribute,
      * policy needed by the implementation of Foo HAL service is written
        against the hal_foo attribute. This policy is granted to domains
        which offer the Foo HAL service over HwBinder and, if Foo HAL runs
        in the so-called passthrough mode (inside the process of each
        client), also granted to all domains which are clients of Foo HAL.
        hal_foo is there to avoid duplicating the rules for hal_foo_client
        and hal_foo_server to cover the passthrough/in-process Foo HAL and
        binderized/out-of-process Foo HAL cases.
      
      A benefit of associating all domains which are clients of Foo HAL with
      hal_foo (when Foo HAL is in passthrough mode) is that this removes the
      need for device-specific policy to be able to reference these domains
      directly (in order to add device-specific allow rules). Instead,
      device-specific policy only needs to reference hal_foo and should no
      longer need to care which particular domains on the device are clients
      of Foo HAL. This can be seen in simplification of the rules for
      audioserver domain which is a client of Audio HAL whose policy is
      being restructured in this commit.
      
      This commit uses Audio HAL as an example to illustrate the approach.
      Once this commit lands, other HALs will also be switched to this
      approach.
      
      Test: Google Play Music plays back radios
      Test: Google Camera records video with sound and that video is then
            successfully played back with sound
      Test: YouTube app plays back clips with sound
      Test: YouTube in Chrome plays back clips with sound
