Instead of sending finished signals immediately when appending to
a batch, record the chain of sequence numbers that were part of
the batch and then send finished signals all at once when done.
This change helps the dispatcher keep track of the true state
of the application and can improve ANR detection slightly.

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 change enables the input dispatcher to send multiple touch
events to an application without waiting for them to be acknowledged.
Essentially this is a variation on the old streaming optimization
but it is much more comprehensive. Event dispatch will stall as
soon as 0.5sec of unacknowledged events are accumulated or a
focused event (such as a key event) needs to be delivered.
Streaming input events makes a tremendous difference in application
performance. The next step will be to enable batching of input
events on the client side once again.

Since we will not longer be modifying events in place, we don't need
to use an ashmem region for input. Simplified the code to instead
use a socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET.
