Adding media-hub, mediascanner2 and thumbnailer to this bug since there
is now a way to query apparmor for file access instead of having to
hardcode APP_IDs (see the attached files). This query interface will
improve going forward, but this should be able to clean up the code for
various trusted helpers. Please add any that I may have missed. :)

Bug description:
  This bug tracks the work needed to support querying if a label can
  access a file. This is particularly useful with trusted helpers where
  an application requests access to a file and the trusted helper does
  something with it. For example, on Ubuntu when an app wants to play a
  music file, it (eventually) goes through the media-hub service. The
  media-hub service should be able to query if the app's policy has
  access to the file.
