Shared accounts and sharing of apps
API and preliminary implementation for sharing primary user accounts with a secondary user. AbstractAccountAuthenticator has new methods to retrieve and apply a bundle of credentials to clone an account from the primary to a restricted secondary user. The AccountManagerService initiates the account clone when it starts up the user and detects that the user has a shared account registered that hasn't been converted to a real account. AccountManager also has new hidden APIs to add/remove/get shared accounts. There might be further improvements to this API to make shared accounts hidden/visible to select apps. AccountManagerService has a new table to store the shared account information. Added ability in PackageManager to install and uninstall packages for a secondary user. This is required when the primary user selects a few apps to share with a restricted user. Remove shared accounts from secondary users when primary user removes the account.
