More cleanly separate requests and listens.
Currently, NetworkRequest has several types of requests (LISTEN, TRACK_DEFAULT, REQUEST, BACKGROUND_REQUEST), and we expect more to be added. There are really three categories of request: 1. Requests satisfied by only one network and will keep that network up, and thus need to be sent to NetworkProviders: REQUEST, BACKGROUND_REQUEST. 2. Requests satisfied by only one network but will not keep that network up: TRACK_DEFAULT 3. Requests satisfied by multiple networks and will not keep any networks up: LISTEN. Unfortunately the separation is not very clear. Currently, for any valid request, either isListen() will return true or isRequest() will return true. This makes it impossible to tell whether a particular request should be sent to NetworkProviders, so the current code sends TRACK_DEFAULT requests to NetworkProviders as well. This is incorrect - a TRACK_DEFAULT should never keep a network up, for example. This CL attempts to clarify things by making isRequest() return false for TRACK_DEFAULT requests and thus never sending them to NetworkProviders. After this CL: - isRequest will return true only for requests that attempt to bring up or keep up a network. - isListen will return true only for requests that match multiple networks but do not keep any of them up. - Neither will return true for TRACK_DEFAULT.
