API CHANGE: expose the backup-related ApplicationInfo flag masks
Fixes bug #2507582 by doing the following: - Un-@hide the FLAG_ALLOW_BACKUP, FLAG_KILL_AFTER_RESTORE, and FLAG_RESTORE_ANY_VERSION mask constants in ApplicationInfo. These correspond, respectively, to the <application> manifest tag's android:allowBackup, android:killAfterRestore, and android:restoreAnyVersion attributes. - Remove the android:restoreNeedsApplication attribute and the corresponding FLAG_RESTORE_NEEDS_APPLICATION constant [which was still marked @hide]. We now always use the application's own Application class when performing a normal restore. In the future when we support an externalized full-filesystem backup/restore operation, we will use an OS-defined agent class with a base-class Application instance, but this will not happen until a future release. Also expands real documentation on the above ApplicationInfo constants; that work is part of bug #2465360 Change-Id: I735d07a963ae80a01343637d83bef84e4c23fdcc
