"signatureOrSystem" permissions are no longer available to all apps
residing en the /system partition. Instead, there is a new /system/priv-app
directory, and only apps whose APKs are in that directory are allowed
to use signatureOrSystem permissions without sharing the platform cert.
This will reduce the surface area for possible exploits of system-
bundled applications to try to gain access to permission-guarded
operations.
The ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM flag continues to mean what it is
says in the documentation: it indicates that the application apk was
bundled on the /system partition. A new hidden flag FLAG_PRIVILEGED
has been introduced that reflects the actual right to access these
permissions.
At some point the "system" permission category will be
renamed to "privileged".

Changed the English US keymaps to implement a strict US key map
with no additional ALT functions.
Fixed a bug copying the alias in the InputDevice copy constructor.
Added support for end of line comments in KCM and KL files.
Added the German keyboard layout.
Sorted the keys in the keyboard layout files by physical arrangement
to make it easier to maintain them.

Added support for mapping both scan codes and HID usages to
KeyLayoutMap and KeyCharacterMap. Keyboard overlays can
now influence how key events are mapped to key codes.

Added the concept of a keyboard layout overlay, which is
a key character map file that has "type OVERLAY".
Added support for loading keyboard layout overlays from
resources dynamically. The layouts are reloaded whenever they
are changed in the Settings application or an application
is installed. This is somewhat more aggressive than necessary
so we might want to optimize it later.
Before system-ready, the input system uses just the generic
keyboard layouts that are included on the device system image.
After system-ready, it considers the user's selected keyboard
layout overlay and attempts to load it as necessary. We need to
wait until system-ready before doing this because we need to
be in a state where it is safe to start applications or access
their resources.

Added a new InputManager service for interacting with input
devices and configuring them. This will be the focus of
an upcoming refactoring.
Added an API for registering keyboard layouts with the system
based on the use of a broadcast receiver. Applications can
register their own keyboard layouts simply by declaring a
broadcast receiver in their manifests.
Added the skeleton of a package that will ultimately contain
the keyboard layouts and other input device related resources
that are part of the base system.
