Created new public API so applications can customize its metered network
usage while running in background.
The new API is 'int getRestrictBackgroundStatus()' and returns the
following values:
- RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_DISABLED: no restrictions
- RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_WHITELISTED: restriction but app is
whitelisted
- RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_ENABLED: full restriction
The proper way to interprete these values for using metered networks
while running on background is:
- When disabled, there is no restriction and the application could use the
metered networks freely.
- When whitelisted, the application can use the metered network, but should try
to minimize the usage.
- When enabled, the application should not try to use metered networks at
all, since the usage will be denied.
