DO NOT MERGE: ConnectivityThread: use lazy holder idiom

This patch changes the way that the ConnectivityThread is lazily
instantiated by using the "lazy initialization holder class idiom".

The first code point that tries to obtain a reference to the unique
ConnectivityThread instance will trigger the creation of the Singleton
class, which will guarantee a thread-safe initialization of the static
INSTANCE field inside Singleton according to the language specs.

This is the Item #71 of Effective Java.

The unique static instance of ConnectivityThread is not stored directly
inside ConnectivityThread class but is stored in a static nested class.
This is to avoid triggering the creation of that unique instance when
Zygote does class preloading at phone startup. Otherwise this would lead
to Zygote creating a new OS thread during preloading, which is a fatal
error.

Test: frameworks-wifi tests pass
