cherry-pick from oc-dev: docs: Note regarding device IDs, Build.java
Added note within getSerial() in android.os.Build class. Device identifiers, such as hardware serial numbers, can be modified if a device is rooted. Others can use key attestation to discover these changes. Added a note to this effect within this method.
