Make DownloadProvider honor the cleartext traffic policy.
This makes the Provider-side of the DownloadManager framework honor the per-UID cleartext network traffic policy. The policy is enforced in the Provider rather than in its client (DownloadManager) because download URLs could get redirected between HTTPS and HTTP and only the Provider currently has visibility into and control over this. Whether cleartext network traffic is permitted is a per-package policy. However, the DownloadProvider can only access the UID of the requesting application. Multiple packages can run under the same UID. In that scenario, cleartext traffic is permited for the UID if cleartext traffic is permitted for any of the packages running under the UID. This could be improved by making the DownloadManager provide the package name in addition to the UID. Bug: 19215516 Change-Id: Ib37585a7a2fc2869954d52a1b08052926f49bc9b
