Abstract system-level permissions

[eriknson]

Some of our permissions might be too low-level for users to see during the installation phase.

Two things:

• Potentially introduce another weight (5) to group these implicit permissions
• Figure out where / how to show these in the UI (installation, settings, etc)

[eriknson]

Me and @FrederikBolding are thinking something along these lines: https://www.figma.com/file/Wlwk0cTx6PQkNhiX7vN13e/Snaps-Platform?type=design&node-id=1648%3A21759&mode=design&t=J5R8zcPzxjEqEYTf-1

Basically, we abstract on the installation & update request if permission count > 3 we hide permissions with weight > 3

No need to introduce another weight (5) for now. List of all permissions and their weights: https://www.notion.so/metamask-consensys/bac3299d2c5241c599d2e5e7986e72f7?v=ef742a61bd844435b7171bd2e90b447e

Let's abstract permissions following these rules;

• Installation: if permission count > 3 we hide permissions with weight > 3 (always show at least 3 permissions)
• Update: Always show requested and revoked permissions and approved permissions < weight 3 and if no requested or revoked permissions, show at least 3 permissions either way

“See all” doesn’t quite capture “we think this other stuff isn’t as dangerous”, imo.

Given that we always have single permission displayed on Permission request screen, integration of abstraction will be skipped. We will revisit this part when Dynamic Permissions are integrated. At the moment, there are not enough permissions to apply and test the approach on the Permission request screen/flow.
