Some native activities experienced ANRs when the input consumer
deferred an input event due to client-side batching. If the
input channel was fully emptied then the client had no way of
knowing that it should wake up to handle the deferred input event.
This patch also fixes some lock issues in the native activity
input queue implementation. In at least one error case, it
was possible for a function to exit without releasing the lock.

To support this feature, the input dispatcher now allows input
events to be acknowledged out-of-order. As a result, the
consumer can choose to defer handling an input event from one
device (because it is building a big batch) while continuing
to handle input events from other devices.
The InputEventReceiver now sends a notification when a batch
is pending. The ViewRoot handles this notification by scheduling
a draw on the next sync. When the draw happens, the InputEventReceiver
is instructed to consume all pending batched input events, the
input event queue is fully processed (as much as possible),
and then the ViewRoot performs traversals as usual.
With these changes in place, the input dispatch latency is
consistently less than one frame as long as the application itself
isn't stalled. Input events are delivered to the application
as soon as possible and are handled as soon as possible. In practice,
it is no longer possible for an application to build up a huge
backlog of touch events.
This is part of a series of changes to improve input system pipelining.

Refactored ViewRoot, NativeActivity and related classes to tell the
dispatcher whether an input event was actually handled by the application.
This will be used to move more of the global default key processing
into the system server instead of the application.

As part of this change, consolidated and cleaned up the Looper API so
that there are fewer distinctions between the NDK and non-NDK declarations
(no need for two callback types, etc.).
Removed the dependence on specific constants from sys/poll.h such as
POLLIN. Instead looper.h defines events like LOOPER_EVENT_INPUT for
the events that it supports. That should help make any future
under-the-hood implementation changes easier.
Fixed a couple of compiler warnings along the way.

The ALooper API now uses an explicit "identifier" for the integer
that is returned rather than implicitly using the fd. This allows
the APIs that had the fd to be a little more sane.

This significantly re-works the native key dispatching code to
allow events to be pre-dispatched to the current IME before
being processed by native code. It introduces one new public
API, which must be called after retrieving an event if the app
wishes for it to be pre-dispatched.
Currently the native code will only do pre-dispatching of
system keys, to avoid significant overhead for gaming input.
This should be improved to be smarted, filtering for only
keys that the IME is interested in. Unfortunately IMEs don't
currently provide this information. :p

And also:
- APIs to show and hide the IME, and control its interaction with the app.
- APIs to tell the app when its window resizes and needs to be redrawn.
- API to tell the app the content rectangle of its window (to layout
around the IME or status bar).
There is still a problem with IME interaction -- we need a way for the
app to deliver events to the IME before it handles them, so that for
example the back key will close the IME instead of finishing the app.

Also other cleanup and fixes:
- We now properly set the default window format to 565.
- New APIs to set the window format and flags from native code.
- Tweaked glue for simpler handling of the "destroy" message.
- Um, other stuff.
