[OSK]holding the back button should remove the text quickly

[Omer Akram]

1. type some text into the notes-app
2. press and hold the back button on the On Screen Keyboard

What happens:
the text is removed slowly, once by one.

What should happen:
the removal of text should accelerate depending on the time back button is held down.

Refer to: https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1UunhUqLkUiAhsy9iu_Pu3Sn6jUTCn3d7E8WxkfT6ZVQ/edit# for the design spec

Desired solution:
- Backspace to delete one character at a time. When you long-press, it clears word by word.

[Rachel Liu (rachelliu)]

On the design spec, we want to delete it word by word as the acceleration when you long-press on the backspace.
