This takes care of allowing us to cancel the back button. The
back button is a bear because it is strewn all over the place --
everywhere you can close something, there is some code looking
for the back button that now needs to deal with being canceled.
The main things changed are activity (of course), dialog,
input method, search dialog. There are some other misc places
in the framework (and some I missed here that I will get in a
second pass).
To facility all of this, the key dispatching APIs now provide
a lot more support for dealing with looking for cancelled keys,
and incidentally also provide an actual API for catching long
key presses. This also helped clean up the code in PhoneWindow
where it deals with all of the combinations of key pressed and
releases. (And also allows people to override
Activity.onKeyLongPress() to provide a different long press
action for a standard key like search.)
And while I was doing this, I reworked how we detect long
presses by having this be part of the key event delivered by
the window manager. This should greatly reduce (hopefully
outright eliminate) the problems with long presses being
mis-detected when an application is being slow.

This addresses a few parts of the bug:
- There was a small issue in the window manager where we could show a window
too early before the transition animation starts, which was introduced
by the recent wallpaper work. This was the cause of the flicker when
starting the dialer for the first time.
- There was a much larger problem that has existing forever where moving
an application token to the front or back was not synchronized with the
application animation transaction. This was the cause of the flicker
when hanging up (now that the in-call screen moves to the back instead
of closing and we always have a wallpaper visible). The approach to
solving this is to have the window manager go ahead and move the app
tokens (it must in order to keep in sync with the activity manager), but
to delay the actual window movement: perform the movement to front when
the animation starts, and to back when it ends. Actually, when the
animation ends, we just go and completely rebuild the window list to
ensure it is correct, because there can be ways people can add windows
while in this intermediate state where they could end up at the wrong
place once we do the delayed movement to the front or back. And it is
simply reasuring to know that every time we finish a full app transition,
we re-evaluate the world and put everything in its proper place.
Also included in this change are a few little tweaks to the input system,
to perform better logging, and completely ignore input devices that do not
have any of our input classes. There is also a little cleanup of evaluating
configuration changes to not do more work than needed when an input
devices appears or disappears, and to only log a config change message when
the config is truly changing.

This was a problem with not dealing well with how the driver was
reporting data in the old touch protocol.
Also fixed issue with not correctly rotating non-primary touches.
The major things going on here:
- The MotionEvent API is now extended to included "pointer ID" information, for
applications to keep track of individual fingers as they move up and down.
PointerLocation has been updated to take advantage of this.
- The input system now has logic to generate MotionEvents with the new ID
information, synthesizing an identifier as new points are down and trying to
keep pointer ids consistent across events by looking at the distance between
the last and next set of pointers.
- We now support the new multitouch driver protocol, and will use that instead
of the old one if it is available. We do NOT use any finger id information
coming from the driver, but always synthesize pointer ids in user space.
(This is simply because we don't yet have a driver reporting this information
from which to base an implementation on.)
- Increase maximum number of fingers to 10. This code has only been used
with a driver that reports up to 2, so no idea how more will actually work.
- Oh and the input system can now detect and report physical DPAD devices.
The platform now knows how to deal with a platform key, which at this
point is "just like end call, but don't end a call."
Also improve the handling of virtual keys, to allow for canceling when
sliding off into the display and providing haptic feedback.
Finally fixes a bug where the raw x and y in motion event were not
always set which caused the status bar to not work.
The MotionEvent API should be fairly solid, but there is still a lot of
work to do in the input device code. In particular, right now we are
really stupid about watching how fingers change -- we just take whatever
the driver reports as down and dump that directly into the motion event.
The big remaning work is to assign pointer IDs so that applications have
help in determine which fingers go up and down, and adding support for
the official multi-touch driver protocol.
This will be used to avoid unnecessarily listening to data from sensors
that function as event devices.

The kernel can now publish a property describing the layout of virtual
hardware buttons on the touchscreen. These outside of the display
area (outside of the absolute x and y controller range the driver
reports), and when the user presses on them a key event will be
generated rather than a touch event.
This also includes a number of tweaks to the absolute controller
processing to make things work better on the new screens. For
example, we now reject down events outside of the display area.
Still left to be done is the ability to cancel a key down event,
so the user can slide up from the virtual keys to the touch screen
without causing a virtual key to execute.
