Support clicking on links in TextViews

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a TextView with text that includes a Url, setting the autoLink=true 
property on the TextView.
2. There's no way to specify the link should be clicked on, instead of the 
entire view, which does not activate the link.

To be fair, I can't find a way of doing in raw Instrumentation either, and 
Robotium simply clicks on the View when you use solo.clickOnText()

But this is, nonetheless, needed, to check if linking to external websites, 
dialling numbers, opening others app, etc works well. 

(A solution in Instrumentation would be welcome, too.)

There doesn't seem to be any way to get coordinates of a URLSpan. Best we could 
do is invoke the click method on the element directly.
