David 'Digit' Turner 93d81ef7a1 run-as: Bump the size of the internal packages list buffer.
This patch increases the size of the internal buffer used by run-as
to store the content of /data/system/packages.list from 8KB to 64KB.

It has been reported that, on some systems, 8KB was too small. This
resulted in a truncated file being loaded, and the inability to debug
native applications properly (either because the application was not
found in the list, or because the tool reported a 'corrupted
installation' due to BAD_FORMAT issues when parsing the truncated
file).

See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16391

David 'Digit' Turner 1f4d95296a Add 'run-as' command implementation as set-uid program.
Typical usage is 'run-as <package-name> <command>' to run <command>
in the data directory, and the user id, of <package-name> if, and only
if <package-name> is the name of an installed and debuggable application.

This relies on the /data/system/packages.list file generated by the
PackageManager service.

BEWARE: This is intended to be available on production devices !
