Be more comprehensive about boot time RTC check
If we detect that the RTC is uninitialized at boot time, we advance to the nearest safe estimated time that we can determine. We can't necessarily touch read/write filesystems at this point, so we have been using the timestamp of the root filesystem. Unfortunately, on retail devices that timestamp is often artificial, and quite far in the past by today's standards (e.g. some time in 2009). We now consult a variety of milestones to get a better estimate for the latest possible "the current date cannot be earlier than this" reference point: the root filesystem timestamp, the Build.TIME system variable, and the [ro.build.date.utc] system property if available. The latter two, in particular, are typically within at most two years of the current real time/date, rather than the eight or nine years of offset that we see with the root filesystem timestamp. This is a cherrypick of a later change back to Android P.
