Remove neverallow preventing hwservice access for apps. · 3e307a4d

Same-process HALs are forbidden except for very specific HALs that have
been provided and whitelisted by AOSP.  As a result, a vendor extension
HAL may have a need to be accessed by untrusted_app.  This is still
discouraged, and the existing AOSP hwservices are still forbidden, but
remove the blanket prohibition.  Also indicate that this is temporary,
and that partners should expect to get exceptions to the rule into AOSP
in the future.
