8aa2e8939c More device admin work: description, policy control.
There is now a description attribute associated with all components,
that can supply user-visible information about what the component does.
We use this to show such information about device admins, and wallpapers
are also updated to be able to show this in addition to the existing
description in their meta-data.

This also defines security control for admins, requiring that they
declare the policies they will touch, and enforcing that they do
so to be able to use various APIs.

df83afaf29 More device policy manager / admin work.
Update API with some new features, re-arrange how you check for valid
passwords, and start hooking up the back-end implementation.

d68478467e First pass at new device policy and administration APIs.
This adds new DevicAdmin, DevicePolicyManager, and DeviceAdminInfo classes.
See the java docs for each on documentation on them.  Basically: a DeviceAdmin
is what you derive from to administer a device; DevicePolicyManager is what you
use to apply and check your policy requirements and perform other administration
tasks.
