The hijacked load node does not need to be a FIFO. A FIFO is only
required for blocking init's control flow, which is already achieved
by hijacking the enforce node.
Since Android 13, sepolicy are also loaded from APEX modules. Part
of the change is to run restorecon before SELinux is set to enforce.
In order to support this situation, we also hijack plat_file_contexts
if necessary to properly order our operations.

On older Android versions, pre-mounting selinuxfs will lead to errors,
so we have to use a different method to block init's control flow.
Since all devices that falls in this catagory must both:
1. Be Android 8.0 - 9.0
2. Have early mount fstab in its device tree
We can actually use the same FIFO trick, but this time not on selinuxfs,
but on the read-only device tree nodes in sysfs or procfs. By mocking
the fstab/compatible node in the device tree, we can block init when
it attempts to do early mount; at that point, we can then mock selinuxfs
as we normally would, successfully hijack and inject patched sepolicy.
In the current implementation, Magisk will either have to recreate
all early mount implementation (for legacy SAR and rootfs devices) or
delegate early mount to first stage init (for 2SI devices) to access
required partitions for loading sepolicy. It then has to recreate the
split sepolicy loading implementation in-house, apply patches, then
dump the compiled + patched policies into monolithic format somewhere.
Finally, it patches the original init to force it to load the sepolicy
file we just created.
With the increasing complexity involved in early mount and split
sepolicy (there is even APEX module involved in the future!),
it is about time to rethink Magisk's sepolicy strategy as rebuilding
init's functionality is not scalable and easy to maintain.
In this commit, instead of building sepolicy ourselves, we mock
selinuxfs with FIFO files connected to a pre-init daemon, waiting
for the actual init process to directly write the sepolicy file into
MagiskInit. We then patch the file and load it into the kernel. Some
FIFO tricks has to be used to hijack the original init process's
control flow and prevent race conditions, details are directly in the
comments in code.
At the moment, only system-as-root (read-only root) support is added.
Support for legacy rootfs devices will come with a follow up commit.

Close#5146. Fix#5491, fix#3752
Previously, Magisk changes the mount point from /system to /system_root
by patching fstab to prevent the original init from changing root.
The reason why we want to prevent the original init from switching the
root directory is because it will then be read-only, making patching
and injecting magiskinit into the boot chain difficult.
This commit (ab)uses the fact that the /data folder will never be part
of early mount (because it is handled very late in the boot by vold),
so that we can use it as the mount point of tmpfs to store files.
Some advantages of this method:
- No need to switch root manually
- No need to modify fstab, which significantly improves compatibility
e.g. avoid hacks for weird devices like those using oplus.fstab,
and avoid hacking init to bypass fstab in device trees
- Supports skip_mount.cfg
- Support DSU
Samsung FDE devices with the "persist.sys.zygote.early=true" property will cause Zygote to start before post-fs-data. According to Magisk's document, the post-fs-data phase should always happen before Zygote is started. Features assuming this behavior (like Zygisk and modules that need to control zygote) will not work. To avoid breaking existing modules, we simply invalidate this property to prevent this non-standard behavior from happening

* Further fix `oplus.fstab` support
In some oneplus devices, `oplus.fstab` does exists but `init` never
loaded it and those entries in `oplus.fstab` are written directly to
`fstab.qcom`. Previous implementation will introduce duplicate entries
to `fstab.qcom` and brick the device. This commit filters those entries
from `oplus.fstab` that are already in `fstab.qcom` and further filters
duplicated entries in `oplus.fstab` (keep only the last entry).
Fix#5016
* Fix UB
Since we moved entry, we need to explicitly copy its member.
For c++23 we can use `auto{}`.
Custom ROM bring-ups of legacy Sony devices contain the following:
/init (symlink to /bin/init_sony)
/init.real (the "real" Android init)
/bin/init_sony (this was /sbin/init_sony on Android <11)
Kernel loads the ramdisk and starts /init -> /bin/init_sony
/bin/init_sony does low-level device setup (see: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_sony_common/blob/lineage-18.1/init/init_main.cpp)
/bin/init_sony unlinks /init and renames /init.real to /init
/bin/init_sony starts /init
Since init_sony needs to run first magiskinit needs to replace init.real instead, so add workarounds based on detection of init.real to boot patcher and uninstaller

Fix topjohnwu#4810
> [ 2.927463] [1: init: 1] magiskinit: Replace [/system/etc/selinux/plat_sepolicy.cil] -> [xxx]
[ 2.936801] [1: init: 1] magiskinit: write failed with 14: Bad address
Since topjohnwu#4596, magisk fails to patch `/init`, xwrite() fails with EFAULT, break the original `/init` file and make the device unbootable. Reverting this commit for legacy rootfs devices fixes the problem. I think this is a Samsung kernel magic since currently I can't reproduce this on other devices or find something special in the log currently we have.
