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 (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/b7352b46671d09471d6aa9355ea41368ea05df96) 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.
