Refactor how the print dialog activity is started.
1. Before the print job activity was started asyncronously with respect to the print call on to the print manager. This was creating a situation where the starting activity may finish before the print dialog appears which may lead to an orphaned print document adapter with no data to print (as the UI is is gone), or strange behaviors where the print dialog starts on as a separate task. To address this the pending intent for starting the print dialog is not started by the print spooler since we cannot call into it synchronously as we have to start its process and bind to the spooler service which leads to jankyness in the client app. Now the pending intent is created by the print manager service in the synchronous print call so from an app's perspective calling print starts the activity. The side effect of this design is that the print dialog activity may start before the system is bound to the spooler service. In such a case the print activity cannot start poking the print spooler state as the system registers callback to observe the spooler state. To address this the print spooler activity disables the UI and also binds to the spooler service which happenes immediately after it is started. As soon as the print dialog binds to the service it starts the UI. 2. Fixed an bug in the printer adapter of the print dialog that was leading to a crash if the only item in the adater is the all pritners option and it is selected. 3. Piping the package name that started the printing so we can pass it to the storage UI as a hint to open the last location the app used. bug:11127269 Change-Id: Ia93820bdae0b0e7600a0930b1f10d9708bd86b68
