Bug: 5064702
Introduced the concept of an InputListener to further decouple
the InputReader from the InputDispatcher. The InputListener
exposes just the minimum interface that the InputReader needs
to communicate with the outside world. The InputReader
passes arguments to the InputListener by reference, which makes
it easy to queue them up.
Consolidated all of the InputReader locks into one simple global
Mutex. The reason this wasn't done before was due to potential
re-entrance in outbound calls to the InputDispatcher. To fix this,
the InputReader now queues up all of the events it wants to send
using a QueuedInputListener, then flushes them outside of the
critical section after all of the event processing is finished.
Removing all of the InputMapper locks greatly simplifies the
implementation.
Added tests for new stylus features such as buttons, tool types,
and hovering.
Added some helpers to BitSet32 to handle common code patterns
like finding the first marked bit and clearing it.
Fixed a bug in VelocityTracker where the wrong pointer trace
could get cleared when handling ACTION_POINTER_DOWN. Oops.
Changed PointerCoords so it no longer stores useless zero
axis values. Removed editAxisValue because it is not very
useful when all zero value axes are absent and therefore
cannot be edited in place.
Added dispatch of stylus hover events.
Added support for distance and tool types.

Modified the touch input mapper to assign pointer ids sequentially
starting from 0 instead of using the tracking id or slot index
supplied by the driver. Applications should not depend on this
ordering but some do. (sigh)

Replaced VelocityTracker with a faster and more accurate
native implementation. This avoids the duplicate maintenance
overhead of having two implementations.
The new algorithm requires that the sample duration be at least
10ms in order to contribute to the velocity calculation. This
ensures that the velocity is not severely overestimated when
samples arrive in bursts.
The new algorithm computes the exponentially weighted moving
average using weights based on the relative duration of successive
sample periods.
The new algorithm is also more careful about how it handles
individual pointers going down or up and their effects on the
collected movement traces. The intent is to preserve the last
known velocity of pointers as they go up while also ensuring
that other motion samples do not count twice in that case.

1. Single finger tap performs a click.
2. Single finger movement moves the pointer (hovers).
3. Button press plus movement performs click or drag.
While dragging, the pointer follows the finger that is moving
fastest. This is important if there are additional fingers
down on the touch pad for the purpose of applying force
to an integrated button underneath.
4. Two fingers near each other moving in the same direction
are coalesced as a swipe gesture under the pointer.
5. Two or more fingers moving in arbitrary directions are
transformed into touches in the vicinity of the pointer.
This makes scale/zoom and rotate gestures possible.
Added a native VelocityTracker implementation to enable intelligent
switching of the active pointer during drags.

This feature is currently used to enable dragging the start and end
selection handles of a TextView at the same time. Could be used for
other things later.
Deleted some dead code in ArrowKeyMovementMethod and CursorControllers.

The old dispatch mechanism has been left in place and continues to
be used by default for now. To enable native input dispatch,
edit the ENABLE_NATIVE_DISPATCH constant in WindowManagerPolicy.
Includes part of the new input event NDK API. Some details TBD.
To wire up input dispatch, as the ViewRoot adds a window to the
window session it receives an InputChannel object as an output
argument. The InputChannel encapsulates the file descriptors for a
shared memory region and two pipe end-points. The ViewRoot then
provides the InputChannel to the InputQueue. Behind the
scenes, InputQueue simply attaches handlers to the native PollLoop object
that underlies the MessageQueue. This way MessageQueue doesn't need
to know anything about input dispatch per-se, it just exposes (in native
code) a PollLoop that other components can use to monitor file descriptor
state changes.
There can be zero or more targets for any given input event. Each
input target is specified by its input channel and some parameters
including flags, an X/Y coordinate offset, and the dispatch timeout.
An input target can request either synchronous dispatch (for foreground apps)
or asynchronous dispatch (fire-and-forget for wallpapers and "outside"
targets). Currently, finding the appropriate input targets for an event
requires a call back into the WindowManagerServer from native code.
In the future this will be refactored to avoid most of these callbacks
except as required to handle pending focus transitions.
End-to-end event dispatch mostly works!
To do: event injection, rate limiting, ANRs, testing, optimization, etc.
