Add CONNECTIVITY_USE_RESTRICTED_NETWORKS permission to DownloadProvider
- DownloadManager will use the requestor app's default network to open a connection. When the VPN app lists the DownloadProvider as a disallowed application, this will fail with EPERM. - This is because in R, the DownloadProvider lost its privileges due to the removal of the CONNECTIVITY_INTERNAL permission. It's removed without considering the corner case where the DownloadProvider is excluded from using the VPN. It's the only case where this makes a difference. - Adding CONNECTIVITY_USE_RESTRICTED_NETWORKS will give DownloadProvider the ability to use the VPN again in this case, fixing the issue. Bug: 165774987 Test: Build, flash rom and boot to home. Manully test that DownloadProvider can download file via VPN. Change-Id: If8fa785568ace1f15f53daec67c06e1207d5dc9c
