Title:
  Need a way for applications to ask permission to read/write in
  pictures/videos folders on SD card

Bug description:
  The camera and the gallery app today are authorized to read/write in /home/$USER/Pictures and /home/$USER/Videos.
  Now they also need to be able to read/write in the similar directories of the SD card, for example:
  - /media/phablet/064a-7494/Pictures
  - /media/phablet/064a-7494/Videos

  As a side note, we are using the following API in applications to retrieve the path (e.g. /home/phablet/Pictures):
  http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html#writableLocation

  To retrieve the similar path on the SD card we are considering using a
  combination of that to guess the directory name (Pictures)
  concatenated with the value of http://doc-snapshot.qt-
  project.org/qt5-5.4/qstorageinfo.html#rootPath
