Adding UI test automation APIs.

This change adds APIs support for implementing UI tests. Such tests do
not rely on internal application structure and can span across application
boundaries. UI automation APIs are encapsulated in the UiAutomation object
that is provided by an Instrumentation object. It is initialized by the
system and can be used for both introspecting the screen and performing
interactions simulating a user. UI test are normal instrumentation tests
and are executed on the device.

UiAutomation uses the accessibility APIs to introspect the screen and
a special delegate object to perform privileged operations such as
injecting input events. Since instrumentation tests are invoked by a shell
command, the shell program launching the tests creates a delegate object and
passes it as an argument to started instrumentation. This delegate
allows the APK that runs the tests to access some privileged operations
protected by a signature level permissions which are explicitly granted
to the shell user.

The UiAutomation object also supports running tests in the legacy way
where the tests are run as a Java shell program. This enables existing
UiAutomator tests to keep working while the new ones should be implemented
using the new APIs. The UiAutomation object exposes lower level APIs which
allow simulation of arbitrary user interactions and writing complete UI test
cases. Clients, such as UiAutomator, are encouraged to implement higher-
level APIs which minimize development effort and can be used as a helper
library by the test developer.

The benefit of this change is decoupling UiAutomator from the system
since the former was calling hidden APIs which required that it is
bundled in the system image. This prevented UiAutomator from being
evolved separately from the system. Also UiAutomator was creating
additional API surface in the system image. Another benefit of the new
design is that now test cases have access to a context and can use
public platform APIs in addition to the UiAutomator ones. Further,
third-parties can develop their own higher level test APIs on top
of the lower level ones exposes by UiAutomation.

Also this change adds the fully qualified resource name of the view's
id in the emitted AccessibilityNodeInfo if a special flag is set while
configuring the accessibility service. Also added is API for looking
up node infos by this id. The id resource name is relatively more stable
compared to the generaed id number which may change from one build to
another. This API facilitate reuing the already defined ids for UI
automation.
