Add ContentProvider for apps to read received SMS cell broadcasts.
The CellBroadcastReceiver app will allow apps with the new permission "android.permission.READ_CELL_BROADCASTS" to read previously received cell broadcast messages from a new ContentProvider database at URI "content://cellbroadcasts". This will enable third parties to provide additional information to users in the event of emergencies without delaying or interfering with the initial system alert dialog to warn the user when the alert is received. Includes a new android.telephony.CellBroadcastMessage class which can be instantiated from the Cursor retrieved from the ContentProvider. This was previously a part of the CellBroadcastReceiver app, but can now be used by third party apps with read permission on the ContentProvider. Change-Id: I2c31f62b63c050c7946de2d81c28a5f4dc6f00b0
