"signatureOrSystem" permissions are no longer available to all apps
residing en the /system partition. Instead, there is a new /system/priv-app
directory, and only apps whose APKs are in that directory are allowed
to use signatureOrSystem permissions without sharing the platform cert.
This will reduce the surface area for possible exploits of system-
bundled applications to try to gain access to permission-guarded
operations.
The ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM flag continues to mean what it is
says in the documentation: it indicates that the application apk was
bundled on the /system partition. A new hidden flag FLAG_PRIVILEGED
has been introduced that reflects the actual right to access these
permissions.
At some point the "system" permission category will be
renamed to "privileged".

Supports both age and count based constraints. Added light docs and
tests to verify behavior.

Show notification when a bugreport is finished, letting the user
launch a SEND_MULTIPLE intent to share them. Add dialog that warns
user about contents before sharing. Since bugreports are now stored
in private app data of the Shell app, use FileProvider to build Uris
that we can grant others access to.
Define BUGREPORT_FINISHED as being a protected broadcast. Delete
older bugreports automatically to reclaim disk space. Migrate any
Intent extras to ClipData when building PendingIntents.
Add --receiver-permission support to am shell command.

Rework how the shell user is defined so that it is
associated with an actual apk, instead of being a free
roaming uid with special permissions assigned to it.
This allows us to correctly account for its operations
in app ops.
Implement a special case for the root user in app ops --
it is always allowed, always with the package name "root".
Add various code to take care of cleaning up package state
from app ops -- when packages are uninstalled, and during
boot if any packages currently being stored no longer exist.
Also fix a bug in the activity manager to correctly grant
permissions in all cases when onNewIntent() is being called.
