Stephen Smalley d9c19b0c15 Remove obsolete warning from restorecon_recursive documentation.
We originally included a warning to not invoke restorecon_recursive
with a path leading to a shell-writable or app-writable directory
due to concerns about the potential for mischief with symlinks during
the restorecon_recursive.  However, this warning was never necessary for
calling restorecon_recursive during system initialization before an adb
shell or app can run, and we have further prohibited init from
reading/following symlinks that can be created by shell or apps in
policy, so this warning is superfluous.  It also contradicts current
usage of restorecon_recursive in rootdir/init.rc, since it is called
there on /data.

README

The system/ directory is intended for pieces of the world that are the
core of the embedded linux platform at the heart of Android.  These
essential bits are required for basic booting, operation, and debugging.

They should not depend on libraries outside of system/... (some of them
do currently -- they need to be updated or changed) and they should not
be required for the simulator build.

The license for all these pieces should be clean (Apache2, BSD, or MIT).

Currently system/bluetooth/... and system/extra/... have some pieces
with GPL/LGPL licensed code.

Assorted Issues:

- pppd depends on libutils for logging
- pppd depends on libcrypt/libcrypto
- init, linker, debuggerd, toolbox, usbd depend on libcutils
- should probably rename bionic to libc
