audiopolicy: engine: Add Volume Groups to common Engine

This CL adds the concept of Volume Group to the engine.
It generalizes the volume management today controled by stream types
and hard coded into AOSP.
The goal is to control the volume per attributes, being able to define
a group of attributes that follow the same volume curves.

It intends to replace the concept of aliases in AudioService.

Bug: 124767636
Test: build
