Fix priv-app edge case across OTAs
In this case: 1. Privileged system app FOO is overlain by an installed update, 2. FOO was replaced during an OTA, 3. The new in-system FOO introduced new privileged permission requests that had not been requested by the original FOO, 4. the update version of FOO still had a higher version code than the new FOO on the system disk, and 5. the update version of FOO had been requesting these same (newly- added-to-system-apk) permissions all along; then the newly-added privileged permission requests were incorrectly being refused. FOO should be able to use any privileged permission used by the APK sited on the system disk; but instead, it was only being granted the permissions used by the *original* version of FOO, even though the system FOO now attempted to use them. Still with me? The fix is to (a) properly track privileged-install state when processing known-to-be-hidden system packages, and (b) to tie the semantics of the permission grant more explicitly to that evaluated state, rather than using the prior (rather fragile) fixed-up privilege calculation applied to the overlain apk's parse records.
