[Merge] lp:~morphis/aethercast/add-urfkill-support into lp:aethercast

[Simon Fels]

Simon Fels has proposed merging lp:~morphis/aethercast/add-urfkill-support into lp:aethercast with lp:~morphis/aethercast/fix-integraion-tests as a prerequisite.

Commit message:
Add URfkill support to manage kill switches on selected devices

Some devices don't use the rfkill provided from the kernel to managed the kill state of WiFi. They are using a libhardware_legacy from Android through libhybris to manage the WiFi power state. We have to use urfkill in those cases rather than relying on the rfkill provided from the kernel.

Fixes LP #1579676
