Currently, for an API symbol to be accessible to APEXes, it needs to be
marked as either # systemapi or # apex. It was originally just # apex,
but we added # systemapi to clearly identify the origin of the APIs.
The intended use is
* #apex is for APEX-visible symbols that are defined in an APEX
* #systemapi is for APEX-visible symbols that are defined in the
platform (the non-updatable part)
This intention is documented build/soong/docs/map_files.md, but isn't
enforced at all.
With b/239274367, this is now enforced and therefore the #apex tags in
the platform library are replaced with `#systemapi`
This change does not alter any functionality.

The APIs that are tagged with # vndk are actually for LLNDK libraries.
Although LLNDK is part of VNDK, calling those APIs 'vndk' has given
users a wrong perception that the APIs don't need to be kept stable
because that's the norm for most of the VNDK libraries that are not
LLNDK.
In order to eliminate the misunderstanding, rename the tag to 'llndk' so
that people introducing new such API will realize what they are signing
themselves up for.

In preparation for cleaning up conditionally compiled VNDK libraries,
we need a function that determines if the current process is running in
the system process or the vendor process.
Bug: 119423884
Test: Add a dummy VNDK library that prints different string in system
vs vendor process. Use the library in different processs and
check the output.

libvndksupport is a new LL-NDK library that provides vendor-visible APIs
for platform-only functionalities of other LL-NDK libraries. Currently,
it provides android_(load|unload)_sphal_library which abstracts the
platform-only APIs of libdl (android_get_exported_namespace, etc.)

Test: sailfish builds and boots
Test: libvndksupport-tests passes
