Public bug reported:
It is now the case that if Unity8 detects a keyboard it will
automatically hide the OSK and stop it from appearing. This includes the
simulated keyboard used by Autopilot.
Now that textfield.write() supports using OSK, we should remove all
instances of the autopilot simulated keyboard when the OSK is being
used. The simulated keyboard is currently used to send Home and End key
events to move the cursor to the start or end of a string, because these
keys are not present on the OSK.
Some new helper methods in ubuntu_keyboard now allow the Home and End
key events to be sent through the maliit-server without having to create
a new simulated keyboard, which would cause Unity8 to hide the OSK. So
the textfield helper methods should be updated to use the new helpers
from ubuntu_keyboard and remove usage of the autopilot simulated
keyboard when the OSK is being used.
