Fixed bug 3235 - Make the Android window creation similar to iOS' window creation

Sylvain

Here's a patch.
It tries to get the hint first. Resizable will allow any orientation. Otherwise it uses width/height window.

setOrientation method is splitted in static and non-static, so that it can be overloaded in a user subclass.

Some artefact observed :
surfaceChanged() can be called twice at the beginning. When the phone starts in portrait and run a landscape application.
