Grant/revoke legacy "Storage" permissions.
The new isolated storage model we're building in Q introduces new strongly-typed media permissions which replace the broad "Storage" runtime permission. That legacy "Storage" permission is marked as being "removed", and it also splits into the new media permissions, but apps are confused when they request the "Storage" permission, which no longer appears as granted when the user accepts the new split media permissions. After discussing with the permissions team, the best short-term solution is to add special-case logic that grants the legacy permissions when *any* of the new media permissions have also been granted. Only when the user revokes *all* of the new media permissions is the legacy permission then revoked. (MediaProvider is already internally filtering the relevant content based on what new media permissions the caller holds.)
