Bug description:
Currently the 'friends' policy group is reserved because giving access
to the friend's DBus API allows applications to send messages without
the user knowing. If 'friends' is going to be made generally available
to untrusted appstore apps, the friends service needs to be modified
to use trust-store, like location-service does. Integrating with
trust-store means that when an app tries to connect to the friends
service over DBus, friends will contact trust-store, the trust-store
will prompt the user ("Foo wants to access your friends accounts. Is
this ok? Yes|No"), optionally cache the result and return the result
to the friends service. In this manner the user is given a contextual
prompt at the time of access by the app. Using caching this decision
can be remembered the next time. If caching is used, there should be a
method to change the decision in settings.
Targeting to T-Series for now, since the trust-store is not in a
reusable form yet.
