    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.
    
    Bug: 62806062
    Test: neverallow-only change builds.  Verify new attribute is in policy.
