untrusted_app: allow access to /proc/tty/drivers
/proc/tty/drivers is read by applications to figure out if they are running in an emulated environment. Specifically, they look for the string "goldfish" within that file. Arguably this is not an Android API, and really shouldn't be exposed to applications, but: 1) A largish number of applications break if they can't read this file; 2) The information here isn't particularly sensitive While we could spend a bunch of time trying to get applications fixed, there are bigger fish to fry. It's not worth the battle. Test: "ls -laZ /proc/tty/drivers" is labeled properly.
