Make onUpdateSelection much more resilient to race conditions. 

This is pretty much as strong as it gets. It should be
impossible to get false positives and nearly impossible to
get true negatives with this new code.

/**
* Heuristic to determine if this is an expected update of the cursor.
*
* Sometimes updates to the cursor position are late because of their asynchronous nature.
* This method tries to determine if this update is one, based on the values of the cursor
* position in the update, and the currently expected position of the cursor according to
* LatinIME's internal accounting. If this is not a belated expected update, then it should
* mean that the user moved the cursor explicitly.
* This is quite robust, but of course it's not perfect. In particular, it will fail in the
* case we get an update A, the user types in N characters so as to move the cursor to A+N but
* we don't get those, and then the user places the cursor between A and A+N, and we get only
* this update and not the ones in-between. This is almost impossible to achieve even trying
* very very hard.
*
* @param oldSelStart The value of the old cursor position in the update.
* @param newSelStart The value of the new cursor position in the update.
* @return whether this is a belated expected update or not.
