Better protection for system broadcast intents.
When the system sends broadcast intents, it's in a very authoritative position, and many apps blindly trust the sender. This is why we've historically had the concept of "protected broadcasts" which can only be sent by the system. However, it's far too easy to send new broadcasts from the system without adding them to the protected list. This CL adds logic to help catch those cases. Currently it just logs the error and continues sending the broadcast. Based on boot analysis of a typical device, add 36 new protected broadcasts.
