Previously, chatty had logic that would skip a certain number of log
entries to satify pruning, but otherwise keep the reader connected.
This was a best-effort attempt at helping pruning and had additional
logic that handled further disruptions, if logd's memory was 2x the
allotted memory.
The new logic has two components:
1) memcpy() each individual log message in FlushTo() such that there
are no references to the underlying log data without a lock held.
Note, that this memcpy is completely negligible for performance.
2) In Prune(), immediately delete all log chunks required to reduce
memory to the allotted amount, which is now safe given 1). If readers
will lose logs, continue to print a warning.
This additionally makes the Clear() logic deterministic. It was
previously best effort in chatty, but will immediately and always
clear all logs for SerializedLogBuffer.

Test: logging unit tests
Test: Prune() immediately frees buffers during high log pressure
Test: Clear() immediately frees buffers during high log pressure

liblog exposed __android_logger_get_buffer_size() which queries log
size properties, but that should not be a generic library function.
Logd should be the only process that queries these properties and
other processes should query the actual used log sizes from logd via
the android_logger_get_log_*_size() functions.
Also, always use 1MB for log buffer tests, instead of just on host and
various other clean up related to improper types.
Test: log buffers are correctly sized

This was a premature optimization. Profiling shows that decompressing
and deleting these logs is rather fast and overall CPU utilization is
lower without the added thread.
Test: profile logd with/without this thread

ChattyLogBuffer ignores the metadata (timestamp, pid, std::list<>
iterators, etc) of log entries when calculating the size used by a
given log buffer. For example, if 1MB is the specified size of the
'main' log buffer, logd will use between ~1.3MB and ~2MB of overall
memory for 'main' log buffer. LogStatistics does track the overall
memory used and labels it 'Overhead', however this 'Overhead' is only
informative and is not used for Pruning or Chatty calculations.
This is problematic, since it makes logd's memory usage inconsistent:
depending on the pattern of logging, there can be substantially more
memory used than the specified log buffer size. This is further
complicated by the fact that chatty messages are entirely metadata and
therefore not counted as contributing to the log buffer size.
This change would switch logd to always track the full size of log
buffers, but there are two problems with this approach:
1) Unless users double their buffer sizes, then they'd have
substantially fewer logs after the change
2) Chatty logic would change and it's difficult to evaluate.
Therefore this change only provides the framework to track the full
size of log buffers. This allows an apples to apples comparison of
ChattyLogBuffer and SerializedLogBuffer. With this option enabled,
logd reports the following values:
ChattyLogBuffer:
Total log size (logcat -g), 'Total' / 'Now' (logcat -S), and
'Overhead' (logcat -S) all report the full size of log entries
including metadata.
SerializedLogBuffer:
Total log size (logcat -g) and 'Overhead' (logcat -S) report the
compressed size of the log entries including metadata.
'Total' / 'Now' (logcat -S) reports the uncompressed size of the log
entries that are available including metadata.
Test: logging statistics are correct

Logd never deletes SerializedLogBuffer, so it seemed reasonable to
detach the deleter thread, however unit tests and fuzzers do delete
SerializedLogBuffer, so we must safely join the deleter thread in the
destructor.
This simplifies the deleter thread code and ensures that only one
deleter thread will be running at a time.
Test: fuzzing works

In order of severity:
1) Add a CHECK() that a pointer is not nullptr, where the analyzer
believes this is possible.
2) Add `final` appropriately to functions called from constructors.
3) Add missing cloexec flags.
4) Add missing `noexcept` and other subtle performance warnings
Test: build with clang-tidy

Initial commit for a SerializedLogBuffer. The intention here is for
the serialized data to be compressed (currently using zlib) to allow
for substantially longer logs in the same memory footprint.
Test: unit tests
