Settings is using a MemoryIntArray to communicate the settings table
version enabling apps to have up-to-date local caches. However, ashmem
allows an arbitrary process with a handle to the fd (even in read only
mode) to unpin the memory which can then be garbage collected. Here we
make this mechanism fault tolerant against bad apps unpinning the ashmem
region. First, we no longer unpin the ashmem on the client side and if
the ashmem region is purged and cannot be pinned we recreate it and
hook up again with the local app caches. The change also adds a test
that clients can only read while owner can read/write.
