ashmemd: daemon that provides /dev/ashmem fds

Motivation: we want to replace /dev/ashmem with memfd. To do so we need
all usage of /dev/ashmem to go through libcutils. Once that happens, we
migrate libcutils to use memfd.

ashmemd is our way to enforce that apps are using the existing
ASharedMemory_create API and not bypassing it to go directly to
/dev/ashmem.

ashmemd serves opened file descriptors. The following way should be the
only way for apps to open an fd to /dev/ashmem:
app -> ASharedMemory_create -> libcutils -> ashmemd -> /dev/ashmem
