Title:
  Account plugins should be made confinable by apparmor

Status in Online Accounts setup for Ubuntu Touch:
  In Progress
Status in apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  With the current implementation, the QML files for account plugins are
  executed by the Online Accounts QML applet which in turn is executed
  within the System Settings process, which probably means that
  malicious account plugins could control everything that the System
  Settings process can (like entering/exiting the flight mode).

  Account plugins (or the Online Accounts applet itself) should probably
  be run in a separate process, which could then be assigned a stricter
  confinement with apparmor.
