Nick Kralevich 4738b93db2 auditallow app_data_file execute
Executing files from an application home directory violates
W^X (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX) constraints (loading executable code
from a writable file) and is an unsafe application behavior. Test to see if we
can get rid of it and establish some baseline metrics.

Test: device boots and no obvious problems.

### Ephemeral apps.
###
### This file defines the security policy for apps with the ephemeral
### feature.
###
### The ephemeral_app domain is a reduced permissions sandbox allowing
### ephemeral applications to be safely installed and run. Non ephemeral
### applications may also opt-in to ephemeral to take advantage of the
### additional security features.
###
### PackageManager flags an app as ephemeral at install time.
