Test: boot, check that we're using old style properties

This adds support for reading a serialized
/dev/__properties__/property_info file, which contains a
serialized trie that maps property names to the SELinux context to
which they belong.
Performance wise on walleye, this change reduces the start up cost in
libc from ~3000us to ~430us. On a benchmark that calls
__system_property_find() for each property set on the system, it
reduces the time per iteration from ~650us to ~292us.

Previously, the functionality for mapping properties to contexts were
broken into a set of classes, each statically defined in
system_properties.cpp to prevent using new/malloc. This is a mistake
however, since system property initialization happens before static
initialization, so it is possible for the Constructors of these
classes to clobber the initialized data.
This change fixes that by placing them in a Union and having that
Union have a no-op constructor. The individual classes will be
initialized via placement new before they are used as is typically
done with classes in a union.

pa_size should be static to prop_area, so make it so.
__system_property_area__ was reused for various purposes, but
realistically is a deprecated symbol and this finally separates us
from it.

system_properties.cpp is a little bit unmanageable in its current
form, and is overdue for a refactoring into more clearly defined
components.
Of particular interest, is creating of a Contexts interface that
handles mapping of system property name -> SEContext and its
associated prop_area, and creating two classes that implement the
current and legacy functionality. This is needed as there will likely
be a third even newer way to do this mapping.
