Permission to view shared storage for all users.
Typical apps are restricted so they can only view shared storage belonging to the user they're running as. However, a handful of system components need access to shared storage across all users, such as DefaultContainerService and SystemUI. Since WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE already offers this functionality by bypassing any FUSE emulation, reuse it to grant the "sdcard_rw" GID which is no longer handed out to third-party apps. Then we change the FUSE daemon to allow the "sdcard_rw" GID to see shared storage of all users. Bug: 19995822 Change-Id: I504c2a179ba74f142ed0d32da5baa69f4212cd82
