binder: add BINDER_GET_EXTENDED_ERROR ioctl
Provide a userspace mechanism to pull precise error information upon
failed operations. Extending the current error codes returned by the
interfaces allows userspace to better determine the course of action.
This could be for instance, retrying a failed transaction at a later
point and thus offloading the error handling from the driver.
