Polish new IME API for L part 2: CursorAnchorInfo This CL addresses feedbacks from internal customers for new input method APIs that are mainly used for physical keyboard support in L. For performance reasons, #onUpdateCursorAnchorInfo is not called back by default and each input method has to enable this event notification explicitly whenever fine-grained character locations are needed. In L-preview, InputMethodSession#setCursorAnchorMonitorMode was introduced for this purpose. However, we got several feedbacks to be addressed. - The effect of #setCursorAnchorMonitorMode is not preserved during focus change. IMEs need to call #setCursorAnchorMonitorMode every time when #onStartInput is called. This is tricky and hard to understand. - As #onUpdateCursorAnchorInfo is a new API, not all applications/text editors have supported it. Therefore IMEs can't always rely on it. However, there is no way to query if the attached target is supporting this new API or not. It would helpful for IME authors if we can provide a reliable way to query if the attached input target is supporting the new API or not. In order to address these issues, the triggering method has moved from InputMethodSession to InputConnection in this CL, as an analogy of existing InputConnection#getExtractedText API, which has provided similar functionality including optional reactive event callbacks from the application to the IME.
