Update PermissionChecker usages to avoid unnecessary attribution.
We had accidental usages of the PermissionChecker for cases where no private data was provided to the app but the checkPermission API on the latter also did blame data access on the app. The PermissionChecker was designed to handle IPC calls and not for generic API checks. To avoid future accidental incorrect PermissionChecker usages this change renames the existing APIs of the latter to clearly indicate that they should be used for data delivery and also adds sibling methods for doing the same permission checks for preflight purposes. Also the documentation is improved to furhter assist developers. In addition, this change fixes accidental permission checker usages that blame when they should not by using the new preflight flavor of the permission check APIs.
