Since we switched to imageless Magisk, module files are directly
stored in /data. However, /data is mounted with nosuid, which also
prevents SELinux typetransition to work (auto transition from one
domain to another when executing files with specific context).
This could cause serious issues when we are replacing system critical
components (e.g. app_process for Xposed), because most of them
are daemons that run in special process domains.
This commit introduced /data mirror. Using similar mirroring technique
we used for system and vendor, we mount another mirror that mounts
/data without nosuid flag. All module files are then mounted from this
mirror mountpoint instead of directly from /data.

Reinstalling system apps as data creates tons of issues.
Calling pm path <pkg> is extremely expensive and doesn't work in post-fs-data.
Parse through packages.xml to get APK path and UID at the same time.
As a bonus, we don't need to traverse /data/app for packages anymore.
Since we are parsing through /data/app/ to find target APKs for
monitoring, system apps will not be covered in this case.
Automatically reinstall system apps as if they received an update
and refresh the monitor target after it's done.
As a bonus, use RAII idioms for locking pthread_mutex_t.
- Directly get UID instead of traversing /data/data everytime
- Use /data/user_de/0 instead of /data/data on Android 7.0+
- Update hide_uid set incrementally when adding/initializing targets
- Guard hide_uid set with the same lock as hide_list vector
- Do not add GMS package into database; only add to in-memory list
Mounting ext4 images causes tons of issues, such as unmountable with broken F2FS drivers.
Resizing is also very complicated and does not work properly on all devices.
Each step in either measuring free space, resizing, and shrinking the image is a
point of failure, and either step's failure could cause the module system completely broken.
The new method is to directly store modules into /data/adb/modules, and for module installation
on boot /data/adb/modules_update. Several compatibility layers has been done: the new path is
bind mounted to the old path (/sbin/.magisk/img), and the helper functions in util_functions.sh
will now transparently make existing modules install to the new location without any changes.
MagiskHide is also updated to unmount module files stored in this new location.
Services can name their process name arbitrarily, for instance the service in
com.google.android.gms that is responsible for SafetyNet is named
com.google.android.gms.unstable. There are many apps out in the wild use
dedicated services with special names to detect root, and previously the user
is expected to add all of them to the hide list.
In this commit, we change from targeting process names to component names.
On Android, component names are composed of <pkg>/<cls>. When targeting
component names, we can always know what application spawned the new process.
This means that if the user adds a package name to the hidelist, MagiskHide can
now target ALL possible processes of that specific application.
To abide with this change, the default SafetyNet target is now changed from
com.google.android.gms.unstable (process name) to
com.google.android.gms/.droidguard.DroidGuardService (component name)
