#9203 broke the keyboard_resize integration test(see more details in flutter/flutter#34085 (comment)).
This re-lands @9203 and fixes the issue the integration test uncovered by always allowing to hide the keyboard.
The difference from the original change is 07d2598
Generally what this PR is doing is setting up a delegation mechanism
for Android's onCreateInputConnection.
It works by letting the framework know when an embedded view gets loses
focus(within the virtual display), the framework maintains a focus node
for each Android view that is kept in sync with the focus state of the
embedded view.
The TextInputPlugin is extended to allow for 2 type of text clients a
"framework client"(what we had before) and a "platform view client".
When the AndroidView's focus node in the framework is focused the
framework sets a "platform view text client" for the TextInputPlugin,
which will result in the TextInputPlugin delegating
createInputConnection to the platform view.
When a platform view is resized, we are detaching it from a virtual
display and attaching it to a new one, as a side affect a platform view
might lose an active input connection, to workaround that we "lock" the
connection when resizing(by caching it and forcing the cached copy until
the resize is done).
Additional things worth calling out in this PR:
To properly answer which views are allowed for input connection
proxying we compare a candidate view's root view to the set of root
views of all virtual displays.
We also preserve a view's focus state across resizes.
Note that this PR only wires text for the io.flutter.view.FlutterView
For the new Android embedding some additional plumbing is necessary.

This reverts commit 256db4bc23.
After bumping the targetSdk of Flutter apps to 28, the keyboard doesn't open anymore when inputting text on an Android Pie devices. The problem is caused by a change on the way the focus in handled: when the call `mImm.showSoftInput(view, 0);` is made, the currently focused view is the `DecorView` from the `Activity` hosting Flutter but the passed view reference (`view` argument) is the `FlutterView`. As the `InputMethodManager` checks if both views are the same before showing the keyboard, it never appears because the `FlutterView` never has focus.
As Flutter doesn't have any input views as far as the Android side is concerned, the focus should always stay on the `FlutterView` itself and thus, this PR changes the `TextInputPlugin` to focus on the `FlutterView` as soon as it's created, fixing the keyboard issue.
