[CB-10814] Remove unneeded permissions

• Type: Bug

Description

It seems that the RECORD_AUDIO and RECORD_VIDEO should not be required for this plugin because it uses intents to record audio/video.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE should not be needed because this plugin depends on File plugin, which already uses WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and has Marshmallow permission handling.

This task is to verify that these permissions can be removed and remove them.
OR
If it is determined that the permissions are actually needed, a PermissionHandler class needs to be added for Marshmallow compatibility.

See CB-10670 for background discussion.
