Utility to represent document trees.
API 21 adds the powerful new ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE, but it can
be tedious to use correctly, and developers can be overwhelmed when
suddenly forced to use it because of SD card security changes.
To ease the transition process, this change introduces a new
DocumentFile object that looks and feels like a traditional
java.util.File object. However, it has nontrivial overhead because
it creates new objects for every file traversed, and because it
doesn't cache any metadata.
Since developers probably have code heavily using java.util.File,
offer fromFile() to simplify their code paths; they can adopt
DocumentFile and have their core logic work on both API 21 and older
versions.
