Bug description:
  Currently the 'contacts' policy group is reserved because giving
  access to the address-book-app's DBus API allows applications to
  obtain all contacts without user consent. If 'contacts' are going to
  be made generally available to untrusted appstore apps, the address-
  book-app 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 address-book-app over DBus, address-book-
  app will contact trust-store, the trust-store will prompt the user
  ("Foo wants to access your contacts. Is this ok? Yes|No"), optionally
  cache the result and return the result to address-book-app. 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.
