9327f4f671 More device policy work: clarify password modes, monkeying.
Clarifies what the password modes mean, renaming them to "quality"
and updating their documentation and the implementation to follow.

Also adds a facility to find out if a monkey is running, which I
need for the api demo to avoid letting it wipe the device.

254cb446fa More device admin.
- Clean up device policy manager APIs.
- Implement lockNow().  For now this just turns the screen off to lock the device.

8ea138cbf1 More work on device admins:
- You can now show a dynamic message to the user when asking to
  have your DeviceAdmin added.
- A DeviceAdmin can now provide a warning message that is displayed
  before a user disables it.
- Better ordering (and text) of the policy warnings.
- New API to set the maximum failed password attempts before the device
  wipes itself.
- We now store the number of failed unlock attempts in persistent
  storage.
- New managed dialog APIs that will be used by the settings app.

Also a little bit of cleanup as I was working on this - removed the
long unused MailboxNotAvailableException, fixed a java doc in Messenger.

8aa2e8939c More device admin work: description, policy control.
There is now a description attribute associated with all components,
that can supply user-visible information about what the component does.
We use this to show such information about device admins, and wallpapers
are also updated to be able to show this in addition to the existing
description in their meta-data.

This also defines security control for admins, requiring that they
declare the policies they will touch, and enforcing that they do
so to be able to use various APIs.

df83afaf29 More device policy manager / admin work.
Update API with some new features, re-arrange how you check for valid
passwords, and start hooking up the back-end implementation.

d68478467e First pass at new device policy and administration APIs.
This adds new DevicAdmin, DevicePolicyManager, and DeviceAdminInfo classes.
See the java docs for each on documentation on them.  Basically: a DeviceAdmin
is what you derive from to administer a device; DevicePolicyManager is what you
use to apply and check your policy requirements and perform other administration
tasks.
