Remove unnecessary WRITE_SMS permission - framework
Currently only one app can write to the SMS provider and it has to be set as the default SMS app by the user in the UI. The default SMS app is set by enabling the write SMS app op for it and keeping this op off for other SMS apps. Hence, this permission does not guard anything and can be taken out. The API change is fine as if an app refers to the permission in the manifest as string it will be ignored and if it was referred in Java the value is statically compiled in the source.
