Support pasting of scientific notation numbers
Bug: 21470972 Support pasting of numbers using scientific notation with 'E'. This is intentionally very restricted to dodge ambiguities with the constant e. We only accept a scientific notation constant if it is 1) Contained within a single pasted text element. 2) Uses capital 'E' to introduce the exponent. 3) Does not contain an explicit '+' in the exponent. We do currently use the same notion of 'digit' as elsewhere, i.e. Character.isDigit(), which might be too general. For consistency, and to make sure that we can recognize machine generated output, this also adds a few more aliases for text input of arithmetic operators. For consistency, always use 'E' internally for scientific notation as well. We ensure that a pasted numeric string is not concatenated with a pre-existing constant. This is a judgment call, but it means that pasting a previous calculator result gets similar treatment whether or not we are still running the same calculator instance. We support limited editing on exponents. Once an exponent is deleted, the only way to restore it is via pasting. The 10^x button produces similar results, though with different operator precedence behavior. Change-Id: I2d0f3dceb641cdad327fd3c3540b5eea38030146
