CDD: Allow Device Owner migration path for proprietary trusted Device Admins

There are existing requirements to prevent a standard Android Device
Policy Controller (DPC) application from becoming a Device Owner (DO)
after the device has been already in use to protect the device from
being 'owned' without the user's consent.

However this rules poses a challenge for proprietary Device Admin (DA)
solutions that are willing to migrate their Mobile Device Management
(MDM) apps to standard Android DPCs using the DevicePolicyManager APIs
defined in Android.

The requirement is relaxed to provide a migration path for proprietary
DA solutions to use standard Android APIs, while addressing the need
to protect the user's ownership of the device.
