Hide InputMethodManger.showSoftInputUnchecked() from Q+ apps
This is a follow up CL to my previous CL [1], which declared that
InputMethodManger.showSoftInputUnchecked() was deprecated and should
have never be used any more.
At that time, however, we could not simply remove that hidden API
because android.support.v7.widget.SearchView had been used it via
reflection and the reflection code was already statically linked into
many apps in the ecosystem. What we could do at that time was getting
rid of this hidden API dependency from support lib v26 [2] and making
sure that a clear warning was shown in logcat if apps were still using
older support lib [3].
Almost two years later now, it's probably time to step forward towards
true deprecation of this hidden API. With this CL, apps that target
Q+ can no longer call this method.
