Move the Android Status Bar

The solution to this problem is as follows:

Around line 345 of frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/status/StatusBarService.java change Gravity.TOP to Gravity.BOTTOM. Around line 1265 of frameworks/policies/base/phone/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager.java replace mDockTop = mContentTop = mCurTop = mStatusBar.getFrameLw().bottom with mContentBottom = mCurBottom = mStatusBar.getFrameLw().top. Around line 719 of frameworks/policies/base/mid/com/android/internal/policy/impl/MidWindowManager.java, replace mCurTop = mStatusBar.getFrameLw().bottom with mCurBottom = mStatusBar.getFrameLw().top.

I tested this on Froyo in an emulator and it works fine. The status bar is on the bottom, and everything else is above it. As I mentioned above, for my use case, I will never need to expand the status bar, so this is sufficient for me. However, as @jkhouw1 mentioned, it's possible that the status bar could be made to expand upwards by modifying the logic in StatusBarService.java, particularly the performFling method on line 1159.

Hope someone finds this useful!
