Add performance test for BroadcastReceiver

This is intended to be the first of multiple performance tests around
ActivityManager.

This also refactors some of the existing performance utils so that a
BenchmarkState which accepts the elapsed time rather than measures it
can be added (ManualBenchmarkState).

This test measures the current time, sends a Broadcast, the target APK
receives it, measures the current time, and sends its measured time
back to the test APK.

Test: m ActivityManagerPerfTestsTestApp ActivityManagerPerfTests
Test: adb install $OUT/data/app/ActivityManagerPerfTestsTestApp/ActivityManagerPerfTestsTestApp.apk
Test: adb install $OUT/data/app/ActivityManagerPerfTests/ActivityManagerPerfTests.apk
Test: adb shell am instrument -w -e class \
com.android.frameworks.perftests.am.tests.BroadcastPerfTest \
com.android.frameworks.perftests.amtests/android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner

+Overview
+* The numbers we are trying to measure are end-to-end numbers
+  * For example, the time it takes from sending an Intent to start a Service
+    to the time the Service runs its callbacks
+* System.nanoTime() is monotonic and consistent between processes, so we use that for measuring time
+* To make sure the test app is running, we start an Activity
+* If the test app is involved, it will measure the time and send it back to the instrumentation test
+  * The time is sent back through a Binder interface in the Intent
+  * Each sent time is tagged with an id since there can be multiple events that send back a time
+    * For example, one is sent when the Activity is started, and another could be sent when a
+      Broadcast is received
+
+Structure
+* tests
+  * Instrumentation test which runs the various performance tests and reports the results
+
+* test-app
+  * Target package which contains the Services, BroadcastReceivers, etc. to test against
+  * Sends the time it measures back to the test package
+
+* utils
+  * Utilities that both the instrumentation test and test app can use
