Add __system_property_wait and return the serial in __system_property_read_callback.
In order to implement android::base::WaitForProperty well, we need a way to
wait not for *any* property to change (__system_property_wait_any), but to
specifically wait for the property represented by a given `prop_info` to
change.
The android::base::WaitForProperty implementation, like attempts to cache
system properties in the past, also needs a way to keep serials and values
in sync, but the existing functions don't provide a cheap way to get a
consistent snapshot. Change the __system_property_read_callback callback's
type to include the serial corresponding to the given value.
Add a test, slightly clean up some of the existing tests (and name them to
include the names of the functions they're testing, in our usual style).
