Instead of manually reading the `getTextBeforeCursor`,
use `IMEService.currentInputConnection.getCursorCapsMode`
to detect whether auto-capitalization should happen.
This fixes#304, where terminal emulator apps like Termux, JuiceSSH,
KDE Connect, etc., which provide an empty input connection to Thumb-Key,
would always be auto-capitalized.
This is a layout based on the philosophy of the default ThumbKey layout,
but designed for more efficient use with two hands.
- Vowels on the right, common consonants on the left.
- The most common letters are presses (not swipes), and are sorted so
that the most common letters are at the sides and lower down.
- Secondary letters are often chosen to relate to the primary letter on
the key (eg: "m" is paired with "n").
- originally "f" and "k" were the other way around, but this way felt
more natural - and "k" is often paired with consonants, while "f" is
usually next to a vowel (or itself).
- Having more than four swipes on a key was avoided as much as possible,
because 8-way swipes are harder to get the swipe direction correct on.
- In fact, the letter mode minimises swipes altogether. This leaves
plenty of space for, eg, putting various "A" diacritics on the "A"
key in other keyboards based on this one.
- The central key on the letter board has a selection of symbols - I
picked the ones I thought were most likely to be used frequently in
runs of words (note that I replaced * with ", compared to the original
ThumbKey layout).
- The numeric keyboard prioritises putting the numbers in a classic
phone layout over maximising access for two hands. Similarly, * and #
are swipes towards where those symbols would be on a phone keypad.
- It also aims to lay similar symbols out next to each other, rather
than sorting by frequency - this is because this mode is used much
less frequently, so it's harder to learn where symbols are, and so I
prioritised making searching for them easier. For example, all the
"pause" puncutation (comma, full stop, semi-colon, colon, exclamation,
question) are on the 5 key or the bottom of the 2 key, and superscript
marks like quotation marks are on the 6 key. Key 7 has "mathematical
symbols". Key 4 has currency. All the types of brackets are likewise
grouped together (opening on the left and closing on the right).
- The central key on the numeric board has the same swipes as the
central key on the letter board to leverage the habits learnt in the
letter mode.
- If symbols are mirrors of each other, I tried to mirror them in the
layout.

The bug was introduced in commit 0ab4b98 (Implement Drag-and-return & Circular drag (#854)). It was caused by an assumption that the numeric mode of a layout would have at least a one-to-one relation to its main or shifted modes. In this case, the Japanese main/shifted modes have more keys than the numeric mode, which caused an index error.
- Reworked settings to not use pointless remembers, since they're
already using the DB.
- Made changelog popup and version update only occur on non-setup
startup.
- Fixes#847
* Fixed a few accidents in my layout file that hid the letter 'z', omitted 'ï', and lost the downward case shift.
* Fixing import.

Also improves composing for ENMessagEaseCompose
Using only DEMessagEaseSymbols or ENMessagEaseCompose one can type
letters for a few more languages (but probably many more):
- Norwegian/Danish, e.g. øæ
- Swedish, e.g. åä
- German, e.g. ßöü
- French, e.g. çéè
- Spanish, e.g. ¿¡ñ
- Esperanto ĉĥŭ
- Polish ążł
The key ¿¡ is used as a joker and moved to a more easily reacheable
position

* Correct default French MessagEase layout (#830)
This changes the current `FRMessagEase.kt` file to better match its actual
MessagEase counterpart.
> IMPORTANT: I copied the old unchanged `FRMessagEase.kt` layout to `FRMessagEaseV2.kt`, and its title is now "français messagease v2"
Changes:
- Changed U-key top swipe to letter "û"
- Changed T-key bottom to letter "ù"
- Moved combining diaeresis ("¨") to S-key bottom
* Remove the old french messagease layout
This removes the 'french messagease v2' layout entirely
MessageEase does not have own layouts for languages that uses Nordic
characters (æ, ø and å as HTML entities), instead
these are covered with a layout called "German + ÅÆØ", which is
basically the German layout with these changes:
(1) Top swipe on upper left key A is Å
(2) Top swipe on center left key H is Æ instead of Ü
(3) Top swipe on lower left key T is Ø
(4) Top swipe on lower left key in numeric keyboard is umlaut/diaeresis
(5) Bottom swipe on lower left key T does not show eszett
If it hadn't been for (2), these changes could have been incorporated
directly in the "deutsch", but alas. (4) is necessary to type a
general umlaut instead. Diff DEMessageEase against DENordicMessageEase
to see definition changes between this and the "deutsch" layout.
Additionally, the '>' symbol is on a right, not bottom-right swipe on
the 9 key, the bottom-right swipe of 8 is a ':' instead of an '-', the
bottom-right of 7 is tabulator instead of ':', and '-' is located on
the right swipe of 1; to be located on the same keys as they are on
the main keyboard. These changes are collected in a new numeric layout
called NordicMessageEaseNumeric.
Perhaps "deutsch nordic messageease" would have been a name more in
line with the others, but I chose to go with "deutsch + æøå
messageease" to make it easier to find for people who are coming from
MessageEase and probably will be looking for something similar to the
"German+ÆØÅ" name.
