Abbreviate permission labels less aggressively
We switched the package installer app to always abbreviate all labels loaded from foreign packages. This is done so that a foreign app cannot crorrupt the UI via super-long strings. The default abbreviation is very aggressive and abbreviates to ~5 cm. When an app with a targetSDK <= M gets installed, all permissions will get auto-granted. Hence when a user side-loads such an app, we show the permissions during install so that the user is aware of this. Unfortunately most permission labels and restrictions do not fit into a single line. This change allows much longer strings for permissions names and descriptions. It still abbreviates eventually and handles permission descriptions with weird characters (such as back-space) correctly. Fixes: 110209410 Test: Side-loaded old app and verified that permission labels and descriptions are not abbreviated.
