RESTRICT AUTOMERGE: Recover shady content:// paths.
The path-permission element offers prefix or regex style matching of paths, but most providers internally use UriMatcher to decide what to do with an incoming Uri. This causes trouble because UriMatcher uses Uri.getPathSegments(), which quietly ignores "empty" paths. Consider this example: <path-permission android:pathPrefix="/private" ... /> uriMatcher.addURI("com.example", "/private", CODE_PRIVATE); content://com.example//private The Uri above will pass the security check, since it's not technically a prefix match. But the UriMatcher will then match it as CODE_PRIVATE, since it ignores the "//" zero-length path. Since we can't safely change the behavior of either path-permission or UriMatcher, we're left with recovering these shady paths by trimming away zero-length paths.
