[Bug 1416157] [NEW] emoji menu should toggle in both directions

 

Public bug reported:

If the emoji keyboard is installed (we are adding it as a default), we
should automatically toggle between the emoji layout and the previous
layout when tapping on the globe menu. Currently we only toggle out of
the emoji layout back to the default layout when pressing the globe but
don't toggle back to the emoji layout when clicking from the default
layout. This makes it very tedious if you are typing a message and
switching between layouts as you always have to press the globe, and
then press Emoji from the menu.

Currently single tap displays the menu with the settings, etc, but I
think it would be better to only do this on a long press. It is how iOS
works

Steps to reproduce:
- enable emoji keyboard if not on (in system settings)
- launch messaging app
- start typing a message 
- click the globe

Expected results:
- switch to emoji layout immediately

Actual results:
- menu displayed, have to pick Emoji layout

- start typing emojis
- click the globe again
- we are correctly switched back to the previous layout
- type some more
- now click the globe again for more emojis

menu displayed, have to pick Emoji layout from there.
