Summary:
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
Copy&paste from the example in the documentation will cause exception because there is no `AndroidPermissions` object. To avoid confusion we should refer to `PermissionsAndroid` instead since this is how this module is named in the API.

Summary:
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
The Android permissions native module was open sourced recently (b7352b4667) but it is currently undocumented and requires directly interfacing with the native module.
This provides a JS wrapper to make it easier to use the permissions module and documents it.
This could be cleaner if the native code used Promise blocks instead of callbacks, but I didn't want to change the native code without a thumbs up since I'm guessing this is used in one of facebook's apps. Happy to do that if it makes sense
I also tried to make the `PERMISSIONS` object a class property - it works in the actual code but not in the documentation (think it's a jsdocs problem), so decided to initialize in the constructor.
**Test plan (required)**
If the API looks good, I will change the UIExplorer example to use this.
