1. Added methods to the ActivityManagerService remote interface
that allow accessing content providers outside of an application.
These methods are guarded by an internal signature protected
permission which is given to the shell user. This enables a
shell program to access content providers.
2. Implemented a shell command that takes as input as standart
fagls with values and manipulates content via the content provider
mechanism.

- IME service now switches between visible and perceptible depending on
whether it is being showm, allowing us to more aggressively free its
memory when not shown.
- The activity display time is no longer delayed by the activity
transition animation.
- New -R (repeat) option for launching activities with the am command.
- Improved some documentation on Loader to be clear about some methods
that apps should not normally call.
- FrameworkPerf test now allows you to select individual tests to run.

We now do the screenshot in a separate process.
Also change the recents panel to not use hardware acceleration
on lower-end devices. And improve how it gets shown to not
load all data up-front which results in a long delay when you have
lots of recents.

The problem is that the audio HAL fails to acquire the wake lock when playing the notification.
This is because of a change that removed the mediaserver process form the system group for honeycomb.
The fix consists in requesting the wake lock from PowerManagerService when AudioFlinger mixer
wakes up.
A consequence of this change is that audio HALs or pcm drivers do not have to hold wake locks
anymore as in the past.

Introduces new "net_bw_stats" group which will protect reading
detailed bandwidth statistics from the kernel. Also introduce
"net_bw_acct" group which will enable specific applications to
request that their network traffic be counted against other UIDs.
This change associates manifest permissions with the low-level GIDs.

1. Views are represented as AccessibilityNodeInfos to AccessibilityServices.
2. An accessibility service receives AccessibilityEvents and can ask
for its source and gets an AccessibilityNodeInfo which can be used
to get its parent and children infos and so on.
3. AccessibilityNodeInfo contains some attributes and actions that
can be performed on the source.
4. AccessibilityService can request the system to preform an action
on the source of an AccessibilityNodeInfo.
5. ViewAncestor provides an interaction connection to the
AccessibiltyManagerService and an accessibility service uses
its connection to the latter to interact with screen content.
6. AccessibilityService can interact ONLY with the focused window
and all calls are routed through the AccessibilityManagerService
which imposes security.
7. Hidden APIs on AccessibilityService can find AccessibilityNodeInfos
based on some criteria. These API go through the AccessibilityManagerServcie
for security check.
8. Some actions are hidden and are exposes only to eng builds for UI testing.

Access to the /data/media directory is now restricted exclusively to the
sdcard daemon, so there is no longer a need for this permission.

Since the "usb" group and ACCESS_USB permission will be used by regular apps
to access USB devices in host mode, we need a separate permission for the
device side MTP driver.

Note that WRITE_OWNER_DATA and READ_OWNER_DATA don't actually appear
to be associated with anything or used by anyone, so they are just
deleted.
Also deprecate the activity API to go in the foreground. I didn't
realize that was released in the SDK. It needs to go away.

re-format comments
move connectible to connectable
remove unnecessary throws
remove not-used function ClientOperation.readResponse()
fix client abort case for PUT
set mOpen for PrivateOutputStream
add to platform.xml
This also means we should no longer do explicit calling-identity fiddling in
dump(), relying instead on the usual permission enforcement mechanism to handle
things.
This change replaces ILocationCollector with a more general mechanism that
passes locations received from a provider to all other providers.
The network location provider now uses this to implement the location collector.
In the future, this could be used to inject network locations to the GPS
as aiding data.
This change also removes the now obsolete permission INSTALL_LOCATION_COLLECTOR.

Now old applications will automatically be granted it. Also renamed it from
SDCARD_WRITE to WRITE_SDCARD to be consistent with our other permissions,
and re-arranged how we do targetSdkVersion to actually be usuable for this
kind of stuff.
Note that right now this results in basically all apps being given the
WRITE_SDCARD permission, because their targetSdkVersion is not set. I will
be dealing with that in a future change.
