docs: Removed note that GET_ACCOUNTS was deprecated
We've decided not to deprecate GET_ACCOUNTS yet, but per emails, we don't want to announce that it now *isn't* deprecated (because we don't want to encourage people to use this permission); instead, we're just going to not mention it at all. Also cleaned up the following section on file permissions while I had it open. See first comment for doc stage location. bug: 28727522 Change-Id: I27d21d186bdbf9ce905f3fb6a29027343a6daaf5
