Keep read/write external storage as built-in permissions
These are permissions that were mapped to gids but we need to keep them listed event though they are no longer mapped to gis until an upgrade from L to the current version is to be supported. These permissions are built-in and in L were not stored in packages.xml as a result if they are not defined in the platform.xml while parsing packages.xml we would ignore these permissions being granted to apps and not propagate the granted state. From N we are storing the built-in permissions in packages.xml as the saved storage is negligible (one tag with the permission) compared to the fragility as one can remove a built-in permission which no longer needs to be mapped to gids and break grant propagation. bug:27185272 Change-Id: I440f6ceb7bc4710dece1a2fadabc995b18fc2a83
