Implement the snap permissions back-end #26

Closed nteodosio closed 2 months ago

As communicated in that thread, authorized calls to that endpoint will be implemented. While this doesn't happen, we will use Polkit.

Tested all RPCs, they work. But RemoveAppPermission might be a bit weird. It requires passing the exact path as given by /v2/interfaces/requests/rules. For example, given such a response from the API:

{
  "type": "sync",
  "status-code": 200,
  "status": "OK",
  "result": [
    {
      "id": "C6YQI6T42G4F6===",
      "timestamp": "C6YQJJZPV5L2C===",
      "user": 1000,
      "snap": "firefox",
      "app": "firefox",
      "interface": "home",
      "path-pattern": "/home/ubuntu/Downloads/**",
      "outcome": "allow",
      "lifespan": "forever",
      "expiration": "",
      "permissions": [
        "read",
        "write",
        "execute",
        "create",
        "append",
        "chmod"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

To remove it one must call this back-end's RemoveAppPermissions with

{"removepath":"/home/ubuntu/Documents/**","removesnap":"firefox"}
