Use CS identity to update setting while performing factory reset

When apps try to call factoryReset to do networking reset, it
will result in updating the setting in SettingsProvider.
ContentProvider will verify if the package name of the caller
that initiated the request being processed on the current thread.
The package should belong to the calling UID. The setting update
started from the ConnectivityService context, so the package will
be android but the calling UID will be the calling app. It will
cause a SecurityException. The behavior is fine previously as its
known caller(Settings) shares system UID. But it will be a
problem for other callers, such as CTS. Thus, clear the identity
since the necessary permission check should be examined at the
top of the method. The following actions should be fine to be
proceed from the system itself. Also replace the user restriction
check via hasUserRestrictionForUser with the UserHandle created
from the calling uid to ensure it's verified with correct user.
