Notification listener backup & restore
We now back up & restore the set of enabled notification listeners. Post- restore, a listener that had been enabled on the ancestral device will be enabled on the current device as soon as it's installed, matching the user's previous configuration. After this has happened the enable/disable state for that app is not "sticky"; disabling it again will work as expected. The infrastructure for accomplishing this is general: it can be leveraged by any ManagedServices derivative. There's a bit of extra wiring in the settings provider to support the restore-time information flow as well. This is because ManagedServices -- like many other parts of the system -- monitors writes to the settings provider and does work in response to new writes of the elements that it cares about. Unfortunately this means that there is no way to use the BackupAgent's restoreFinished() hook to post- process the restored data: by the time it is run, the ManagedService's observers have already executed and culled any unknown components from the description that was just pushed into settings. As of this patch, the settings provider's restore logic knows that a particular settings element will require a message to interested observers about the restore-driven change. The message is delivered as a broadcast, and is sent after the new value has been committed to the settings db. Adding other system ManagedService handling that parallels this will only require adding a new corresponding entry to the table of individual settings for which the relevant "this settings element is being restored" broadcast is sent, found in SettingsHelper. (It isn't sent for all settings elements because very few settings elements have semantics that require it; 3rd party code won't be running yet during platform restore anyway; and sending up to hundreds of broadcasts during setup & restore is far from ideal.)
