[Android] Don't require the storage permission

GPU traces in the trace viewer are accessed via the Storage Access Framework, which doesn't require the storage permissions. Games will be accessed using the SAF too (directories containing games as document trees with persistable URI permissions). The storage permissions are also not required for accessing the application's external or internal storage directory that will contain the save files.
