ad16574657 Allow to pass large blobs and a new content provider to simplify this
Since AIDL is not for passing large data, a blob can be passed to APG by
a Uri. This Uri is opened as a file by APG and read/written to. Note the
file is overwritten by APG, so make sure it is a copy if you want to
keep the original.

With the ApgServiceBlobProvider, Apg has an own ContentProvider that can
be used like mentioned above. For now the data is stored in the dir
where APG stores other files and NOT DELETED after en/decryption. This
is tbd. It can only be accessed by an application with the permission
"org.thialfihar.android.apg.permission.STORE_BLOBS".

ApgCon has been updated accordingly and can handle blobs with `setBlob`
and `getBlobResult`. That is a really easy way to en/decrypt large data.

Note that encrypting by blob should only be used for large files (1MB+).
On all other cases, the data should be passed as as String through the
AIDl-Interface, so no temporary file must be created.

See ApgCon for a complete example of how to connect to the AIDL and use
it. Or use it in your own project!

10e0dd0237 Update AIDL to reflect new argument names
In addition redesign the comments a little bit. Still doesn't look good,
but at least a bit better.

1a338de47e Redesign AIDL-Interface once more
Using Bundles makes passing data easier and does not need to redefine
the interface if the internel functions change.

The helper class has been updated accordingly. In addition, it wrappes
completely around all input and output (if wanted).

6477f60764 Add connection helper for other projects
This eases using the AIDL-Interface and is the recommended way for other
project to implement the connection.

e8d29c01c2 Add first basic implementation of Apgservice
Provides an AIDL-API for other apps to encrypt and decrypt a string
symmetrically with a passphrase. Function names and API is by no way
finalized and will change!

Support for asymetric encription will follow.
