Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] docs: binderfs: add section about feature files

Document how binder feature files can be used to determine whether a
feature is supported by the binder driver. "oneway_spam_detection" is
used as an example as it is the first available feature file.

+Assuming an instance of binderfs has been mounted at ``/dev/binderfs``, the
+features supported by the binder driver can be located under
+``/dev/binderfs/features/``. The presence of individual files can be tested
+to determine whether a particular feature is supported by the driver.
