 Tor Browser requests a few "risky" permissions, we should describe how
 each of them is used. This is especially important information for people
 on older Android devices where permissions are not optional (they must
 allow all permissions at installation time or they don't install the app).

 I'll start with Google Play, but we should add this information on our
 website (and F-Droid, in the future), too.
