Add ability to set which permissions should be granted to app

See original GitHub issue

Feature request

I used option autoGrantPermissions, but it takes a lot of time (10 seconds sometimes) and most of them i don’t need. Can we extend the autoGrantPermissions option to able pass string or array of strings of required permissions.

I believe it can speed up configuring time.

Example:

desiredCapabilities: {
...
autoGrantPermissions: ['android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION', 'android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION']
...
}
