docs: Removing the permissions update page

Browse Source 
Per bug b/27487208 , we're removing this page because there isn't
quite enough content. The material that was here will be added to the
N "Behavior Changes" page *before* Preview 1 ships. (That page is
currently in flux so I can't add it just now.)

If any of you have comments on either of the topics that were covered
here, please make comments on this CL—we'll make sure the comments
are addressed when the material is moved into behavior-changes.jd.

[Work on permissions-change doc continued here from the previous CL
(http://ag/873827/) which we submitted in the run-up to Preview 1.]

<p>
The N Developer Preview includes the following changes to permissions.
</p>
<h2 id="GET_ACCOUNTS">GET_ACCOUNTS deprecated</h2>
<p>
The <code>GET_ACCOUNTS</code> permission is now deprecated. The system ignores
this permission for apps that target the N Developer Preview.
</p>
<h2 id="storage">New storage option: ACTION_OPEN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORY</h2>
<p>
Apps can now use the intent <code>ACTION_OPEN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORY</code> to
request that the system create a directory for the app's use. The system
prompts the user to grant approval. If the user approves, the app can read
and write files and directories in that one directory (and its descendants).
The app does not need {@link android.Manifest.permission_group#STORAGE
STORAGE} permissions to access this external directory.
</p>
<p>
For more information about this intent, see the <code>Intent</code>
documentation in the <!--TODO: Add link to preview download page-->N Preview
SDK Reference.
