50b66767f6 fix [3237242] sensormanager sensor active count gets out of sync
whether a physical sensor needed to be active or not was managed by
a simpe reference counter; unfortunatelly nothing prevented it to
get out of sync if a sensor was disabled more than once.

sensorservice already maintainted a list of all the "clients"
connected to a physical sensor; we now use that list to determine if
a sensor should be enabled. This can never be "out-of-sync" since
this is the only data structure linking a sensor to a user of that
sensor.

also removed the isEnabled() method, which was never used and
implemented wrongly (since it didn't take into account that a sensor
could be disabled for a client but not of another).

87c9dbb728 Uses 4-th order low-pass for extracting gravity.
Most accelerometers have 8-bits accuracy so we beed to
reject 48dB in thestop-band, which requires a 4-th order
filter at the cut-off frequency we're using.

f001c92436 Add support for virtual sensors.
Rework sensorservice to allow "virtual sensors", that is
sensors that report a synthetized value based on real sensors.

the main change to sensorservice is around managing which real
sensor need to be activated and which rate to use.

The logic for all this has been moved into SensorDevice, which
essentially wraps the sensor HAL but adds two features to it:
- it keeps track of which sensors need to be activated
- it keeps track of what rate needs to be used

For this purpose an "identity" is associated with each real sensor
activation, so we can track them.

On start-up we check for gravity, linear-acceleration and
rotation-vector sensors, if they're not present in the HAL, we
synthetize them in sensor-service.
