Marking this as critical because it's a showstopper bug: with this bug
present, the music app shows nothing but "no artwork" thumbnails.

We considered skipping the security check in the thumbnailer to work
around this, but that's not an option: without the security check, any
app can go and ship out the contents of the photo roll...

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.
