hidl_string no longer will provide an implicit cast to const char* as it
interfers with other expected behaviors of the class. It now emulated
std::string in requiring a call to .c_str() to get the same behavior.

Test: Build the tree

This adapts the API implementation to allow a duplicate "open" operation
to automatically close any previous connections to the device. This
works around a binder level issue that can cause destructors triggered
by remote clients to be delivered out of order to the server.
This was originally change ag/1969959 on master, but has been
recreated on oc-dev (cherry-picking was broken at the time).
The original master change will be abandoned in favor of this getting
merged down from oc-dev.
Test: Run Vts test (added in following change)
