Assign a label to the ro.boottime.* properties

system/core commit 331cf2fb7c16b5b25064f8d2f00284105a9b413f created a
number of new properties of the form:

  [ro.boottime.init]: [5294587604]
  [ro.boottime.InputEventFind]: [10278767840]
  [ro.boottime.adbd]: [8359267180]
  ...

These properties were assigned the default_prop SELinux label because a
better label did not exist. Properties labeled with the default_prop
label are readable to any SELinux domain, which is overly broad.

  bullhead:/ $ getprop -Z ro.boottime.adbd
  u:object_r:default_prop:s0

Instead, create a new label for the ro.boottime.* properties so we can
apply more fine grain read access control to these properties.

  bullhead:/ $ getprop -Z ro.boottime.adbd
  u:object_r:boottime_prop:s0

New SELinux property labels have minimal permissions by default. As a
result, after this change, ro.boottime.* properties will only be
readable to system_server, bootstat, init (because it manages the property
space), and "adb root" (because no SELinux permissions are enforced there).

Additional read access can be granted as-needed.

This is part of a larger effort to implement fine-grain access control
on the properties managed by init.

Test: Device boots and no SELinux denials on boot.
