Clean up content observer code.
Improved the documentation a little bit. Fixed a bug in ContentService wherein if a ContentObserver was passed as an argument and its deliverSelfNotifications() method returned true, then notifyChange would tell all observers that the change was a self-change even though it was only a self-change from the perspective of the provided observer. Deprecated ContentObservable.notifyChange since it is never used and in general it shouldn't be because we want the notification to be posted to the handler.
