Re: [deviceorientation] Move fingerprintable APIs behind permissions (#85)

Hi Everyone, 

We have been running experiments on Android devices as well as some gyro on some sensor kits via native apps to fingerprint them according to SensorID paper and got similar unstable results. These attacks work on the sensors that are factory-calibrated. According to the [project webpage](https://sensorid.cl.cam.ac.uk/):
"Can we conduct the same attack to fingerprint other Android devices?
We have found that the accelerometer in Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 can be fingerprinted by our calibration fingerprinting attack. It is possible that some other Android devices are also factory calibrated and thus can be fingerprinted. However, we only have data from a few Android device models; the Android device models we have tested, apart from Google Pixel 2 and 3, cannot be fingerprinted using our approach."
