Add ConnectivityManager.registerNetworkCallback(NetworkRequest, PendingIntent)

Without this API we're more or less encouraging apps to have long running
processes (battery draining) to receive NetworkCallbacks for the stateful
NetworkCapabilities NET_CAPABILITIES_VALIDATED and
NET_CAPABILITIES_CAPTIVE_PORTAL.  With this API they can instead using
PendingIntents which outlive their apps.

* the request may outlive the calling application and get called back when a suitable
* network is found.

* The operation Intent is delivered with two extras, a {@link Network} typed
* extra called {@link #EXTRA_NETWORK} and a {@link NetworkRequest}
* typed extra called {@link #EXTRA_NETWORK_REQUEST} containing
* the original requests parameters.

* {@link #releaseNetworkRequest(android.app.PendingIntent)}.
