Remove InputContentInfo#requestPermission()
It turns out that requiring editor authors to call
InputContentInfo#requestPermission() as needed is just confusing and can
cause compatibility issues, because if an editor author forgot to call
that method then there would be no way for IME developers to prevent
permission denial except for relaxing the default permission of the
ContentProvider just because of such an application. This is not what we
want to see.
My conclusion is that the system should automatically call
InputContentInfo#requestPermission() (or do any equivalent operation)
when InputConnection#INPUT_CONTENT_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION is
specified, like we have done in Context#startActivity().
With this CL, the system automatically grants a temporary URI permission
to the target application when the IME calls
InputConnection#commitContent() with
InputConnection#INPUT_CONTENT_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION, and the
temporary permission will be revoked by any of the following events:
- InputContentInfo#releasePermission() is explicitly called by the
target application.
- The target application returned false in
InputConnection#commitContent().
- All the InputContentInfo instances copied from the original one are
GC-ed.
