Start processes asynchronously in AMS.

Currently, process start is initiated in ActivityManagerService
holding the main lock and this takes ~40ms to complete. As seen
in some of the issues in previous releases, this is one of the
contributors of the lock contention in system_server. This change
tries to address this issue by moving the process start outside
the locked section.

When a process start is required, instead of doing it synchronously,
this request will be posted on a handler thread. On the handler thread,
this process start request will be completed without holding a lock.
If for some reason, we decide the process is not needed anymore before
it is actually started or being started, then AMS does everything as
usual removing the references to the process from internal state except
actually killing the process which will be handled on the handler
thread.
