Returning to the launcher from another app left the search bar's text field focused, with the on-screen keyboard up. Typing on the physical keyboard then went into the search bar - the IME commits characters to the focused text field - while the search results never appeared, because the key event handler deliberately leaves keys alone while the text field has the focus. Coming home looked like the launcher had stopped responding to the keyboard; it happens with a freshly started launcher and a plain app switch, with no search ever opened. Give that focus up again one frame after the launcher is resumed, and hide the on-screen keyboard, as long as the home screen is what is shown. Only on a resume (pauseTime > 0), so that a search component used as the home screen can still focus itself when the launcher starts. Also set isSearchBarFocused back to false when the text field loses the focus, like upstream does. LauncherSearchBar requests focus whenever that flag is true, so only ever setting it to true made the text field focus itself again after it had been unfocused - which is what kept the on-screen keyboard around. Clear the search query before resetting the page in the resume path, so that a stale query is gone even if the page transition is interrupted. Note: the focus fix is a workaround for the framework/IME handing the focus back to the text field; it is not verified on the device yet.
