Previously the key preview was implemented by PopupWindow. The key
preview popup window would be dismissed and shown each time the key
was released and pressed. It turned out that it was taking several
milliseconds.
This change implements the key preview by a simple TextView which will
be layout-ed at absolute coordinates within the screen FrameLayout.
And dismissing and showing the key preview is implemented by the
TextView's visibility.
This implementation needs careful coordination of candidates.xml
layout and LatinIME.onComputeInsets to control suggestion strip
visibility.

TODO This animation style API of PopupWindow can be called only in
Gingrebread or later. We should refactor this using reflection to be
able to be compatible with Froyo.
