When there is more than one instance of a name in the Contacts, it
gets a very high weightage and can override corrections for very
high frequency words such as "the".
This fix prevents multiple occurences from increasing the frequency
of a contact and also from bumping it above 255, which is the frequency
of "the", "is", etc.
Comparisons were always happening with lowercase version of the typed
word, which wouldn't match the uppercase word in the dictionary, so it
became an unrecognized word when typed in full. Highlight was then going
to the next word in the list.
Fix compares the lowercase and uppercase versions of the word for
validity.

I think the cause for this is the Contacts database being updated. This
causes the keyboard to reload the contacts once every 30 minutes. Since it
loads it synchronously, it affects people with several thousand contacts.
Although in my tests, with 3000 contacts, the delay was only 600ms, I've
had several reports from long-time googlers about this problem, so I'm
switching to loading the contacts asynchronously in a background thread.
Also fix a potential problem with capitalizing "i" if a contact has "i" as
one of the names.
This is caused by a delay in changing the shift state for performance reasons.
The delay was too long, causing multiple characters to be in shifted state when
typing fast (300ms interval).
Fix removes the optimization for the forward typing case. Doesn't affect the
backspace long-press optimization.

Contacts dictionary code was being triggered too frequently during sync and
during presence updates and this seems expensive for accounts with a lot of
contacts.
Throttling the contacts read to every 30 minutes.

Sometimes the keyboard is getting confused about it's width when switching
between hard keyboard open and close state and portrait-forced home. Force
creation of keyboard layouts after a configuration change to fix the
inconsistent state.
Don't force create when just switching between input fields, too expensive.
Also fixes the problem of keyboard not changing layout after a locale change,
unless there's an orientation change.
The KeyboardSwitcher was remembering state from a previous edittext
where the user was in symbols mode and applying the switch code
when user hits space in the new edittext for the first time.
Make sure to reset the state when a new keyboard mode is requested.
Also make sure that we don't switch from symbols to alphabet keyboard
when editing in a number/datetime field and hitting space.
Increase key height in portrait.
Increase spacebar width and reduce punctuation width.
Increase vertical target area for spacebar to avoid accidentally
hitting "V" and "B".
Increase height of candidate strip.

Makes the user/contacts dictionary lookup faster. This is necessary because
there's more in these dictionaries now and it's written in Java.
Fix an auto-caps issue when moving the cursor. And do it a little lazily.
Fixed a bug that was causing user dictionary words to get a much
higher weightage than the main dictionary.
