Add Support for Detecting if Device was Rebooted

[DavidBerdik]

As far as I am aware, there is currently no way to check if a device has been rebooted since a user enabled a module.

This can be an issue for modules that hook the System Framework since they require a reboot in order to function. The current approach to detecting if a module is active cannot distinguish between if a reboot has taken place or not, which could result in the module appearing to work properly even though it does not.

I would like to request that a function be added that returns false if there has not been a reboot since the module was enabled and true otherwise.

I had previously opened a ticket about this on the API repo here and was instructed to reopen it here.

See if this meets your requirement: #13

@Dr-TSNG This looks like it will meet the requirement. Prior to a device reboot, would the list returned by this API not include the System Framework in the list or would it be included with upToDate set to false?

"system framework" will be processName=system, uid=1000
upToDate=false means the module is updated but the hooks on the target is old. Restart the target (for system_server is a reboot) will make it =true.

@Dr-TSNG Excellent! In that case, this will indeed fulfill my needs. Thank you!
