Require InputContentInfo.requestPermission()
This CL logically reverts my previous CL [1], which allowed the system automatically grant a temporary URI permission to the target application when the IME calls InputConnection#commitContent() with InputConnection#INPUT_CONTENT_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION. Based on conversations with application developers who have supported Commit Content APIs, I concluded that my assumption that automatically granting the permission without an explicit call of InputContentInfo.requestPermission() would help application developers was wrong. They anyway need to take care of the situation where the app fails to read the data from the given content URI. Thus just receiving SecurityException() because of not calling it is still one of such cases that application developers cannot forget about. Therefore with this CL InputContentInfo.requestPermission() becomes mandatory when InputConnection#INPUT_CONTENT_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION is specified.
