Description

From Altinn/altinn-studio#3282
The app should be self-aware and get its own files from a certain commit, create / update the files in Platform solutions.
Applicationmetadata.json and policy.xml for a certain commit are files that Storage and Authorization needs and Designer used to upload these however the app should be in charge og handling itself.

This suggestion will give a lot of benefits beyond solving the bug, Designer will be freed from Platform, code in Designer that authenticates towards Platform can be deleted and certificates and secrets and so on can possibly be deleted from Azure.

Research direction

Start by tracing the current Designer upload flow for Applicationmetadata.json and policy.xml, and how Storage and Authorization consume files from a commit. Define the Platform app entry point and the required behavior for retrieving its own files and creating or updating them in Platform solutions.
