New postinstall domain and rules to run post-install program.
When using the A/B updater, a device specific hook is sometimes needed to run after the new partitions are updated but before rebooting into the new image. This hook is referred to throughout the code as the "postinstall" step. This patch creates a new execution domain "postinstall" which update_engine will use to run said hook. Since the hook needs to run from the new image (namelly, slot "B"), update_engine needs to temporarly mount this B partition into /postinstall and then run a program from there. Since the new program in B runs from the old execution context in A, we can't rely on the labels set in the xattr in the new filesystem to enforce the policies baked into the old running image. Instead, when temporarily mounting the new filesystem in update_engine, we override all the new file attributes with the new postinstall_file type by passing "context=u:object_r:postinstall_file:s0" to the mount syscall. This allows us to set new rules specific to the postinstall environment that are consistent with the rules in the old system. Bug: 27177071 TEST=Deployed a payload with a trivial postinstall script to edison-eng. Change-Id: Ib06fab92afb45edaec3c9c9872304dc9386151b4
