Instead of each application loading the KeyCharacterMap from
the file system, get them from the input manager service as
part of the InputDevice object.
Refactored InputManager to be a proper singleton instead of
having a bunch of static methods.
InputManager now maintains a cache of all InputDevice objects
that it has loaded. Currently we never invalidate the cache
which can cause InputDevice to return stale motion ranges if
the device is reconfigured. This will be fixed in a future change.
Added a fake InputDevice with ID -1 to represent the virtual keyboard.

Simplified input injection API down to just one call.
Removed all input state reading API. It was only used by the
window manager policy and required a permission that applications
could not obtain. READ_INPUT_STATE is now unused and deprecated.

BREAKING CHANGE: Redesigned the key character map format to
accomodate full keyboards with more comprehensive suite of modifiers.
Old key character maps will not work anymore and must be updated.
The new format is plain text only and it not compiled to a binary
file (so the "kcm" tool will be removed in a subsequent check-in).
Added FULL keyboard type to support full PC-style keyboards.
Added SPECIAL_FUNCTION keyboard type to support special function
keypads that do not have any printable keys suitable for typing
and only have keys like HOME and POWER
Added a special VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD device id convention that maps
to a virtual keyboard with a fixed known layout. This is designed
to work around issues injecting input events on devices whose
built-in keyboard does not have a useful key character map (ie.
when the built-in keyboard is a special function keyboard only.)
Modified several places where events were being synthesized
to use the virtual keyboard.
Removed support for the "qwerty" default layout.
The new default layout is "Generic". For the most part "qwerty"
was being used as a backstop in case the built-in keyboard did
not have a key character map (probably because it was a special
function keypad) and the framework needed to be able to inject
key events anyways. The latter issue is resolved by using the
special VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD device instead of BUILT_IN_KEYBOARD.
Added the concept of a key modifier behavior so that
MetaKeyKeyListener can distinguish between keyboards that use
chorded vs. toggled modifiers.
Wrote more robust key layout and key character map parsers
to enable support for new keyboard features and user installable
key maps.
Fixed a bug in InputReader generating key ups when keys
are released out of sequence.
Updated tons of documentation.
Currently QwertyKeyListener is being used for full keyboards
with autotext and capitalization disabled. This mostly works
but causes some problems with character pickers, etc.
These issues will be resolved in subsequent changes.

Although when building system image, "input" script will be given execution
permission, adb sync will push a version without x onto device from build
tree. Refer to frameworks/base/cmds/svc/svc, which has execution bit set.
