Android T migrated the HAL interface to AIDL, but the reference HAL was never updated to use AIDL. This CL migrates the reference HAL implementation for external cameras to use AIDL as well. The external HAL uses V4L2 standard to expose USB cameras to the cameraserver. The reference HAL implementation for internal camera was dropped because it is not possible to write a generic HAL that works with some large percentage of internal cameras. Bug: 219974678 Test: Existing CTS tests pass with external camera connected. Change-Id: I35f3dc32c16670eca7735a4ac00fed3daf36aa65
