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.
