init.rc: allow IPPROTO_ICMP support Allow userspace programs to create IPPROTO_ICMP sockets. This socket type allows an unprivileged program to safely send ICMP_ECHO messages and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages, without relying on raw sockets or setuid programs. Please see http://lwn.net/Articles/443051/ for details. In particular, this allows us to use a version of ping which doesn't have any capabilities (https://android-review.googlesource.com/52072). In addition, this allows us to safely implement an IPv4 ICMP based version of InetAddress.isReachable() (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20106) Change-Id: I876718151efa8219c4f34f573e35e21256fe2316
