Bug description:
  autopilot-touch/apparmor/click.rules need a new home, but where?

  At the moment click.rules is executed by phablet-config on the touch
  image:

  <xnox> def _handle_autopilot(adb, args):
  <xnox>     if args.dbus_probe == 'enable':
  <xnox>         rfile = '/usr/share/autopilot-touch/apparmor/click.rules'
  <xnox>         adb.shell('aa-clickhook -f --include=%s' % rfile)
  <xnox>     else:
  <xnox>         adb.shell('aa-clickhook -f')

  The file itself is at the moment shipped by package autopilot-touch ->
  which is an unfortunate meta-package which really has no valid reasons
  to exist, e.g. all those dependencies are seeded in ubuntu-touch seed
  anyway.

  The name of the rules file is also a bit missleading, it would be
  better named dbus-autopilot or some such.

  Depending on what we choose to do autopilot, phablet-tools, click-
  apparmor, may need to change.

  option1: move /usr/share/autopilot-touch/apparmor/click.rules to be
  shipped by apparmor-click package instead of autopilot-touch package

  option2: ship a new rules file in click-apparmor package (e.g.
  usr/share/click-apparmor/dbus-autopilot.rules), add support in phablet
  tools to execute with both old and new name, eventually deprecate/drop
  autopilot-touch package

  option3: have python-autopilot ship python-autopilot.rules &
  python3-autopilot ship python3-autopilot.rules & teach phablet-config
  to call/include either.

  option4: simply make python3-autopilot ship that rules file, in that
  same location.

  option5: use some other mechanism to ship equivalent click.rules, but
  disabled by default, and calls to enable/disable it.

  Or any other options that you may suggest

  for reference here is the contents of the click.rules:
  dbus (receive, send)
       bus=session
       path=/com/canonical/Autopilot/**,
