    PackageInstaller: add permission granting support · 292e4dab
    Nick Kralevich authored
    Add support to PackageInstaller for allowing the user to grant
    permissions to other apps. The user is involved in the decision,
    and can approve or reject permissions.
    
    Applications can make a request to PackageInstaller using something
    like the following code:
    
      private void onPromptPermissionsClicked(String... permissions) {
        Intent i = getActivity().getApplication()
                   .getPackageManager().requestPermission(permissions);
        startActivityForResult(i, 0);
      }
    
    This code reuses the sideloading upgrade flow when adding permissions,
    making the UI very familiar to someone who's sideloaded applications.
    Conceptually, we are treating a permission grant as a reinstall of the
    application with new permissions.
