If we fail to parse xa.metadata from the summary cache or the commit xa.metadata we fail the resolve. If xa.metadata is missing in the commit we fail the resolve (it is always set in the summary cache, because summary update converts missing xa.metadata to "", so we either get that, or cache miss which leads to resolving from the commit. This means that op->resolved_metadata is always set during install and updates, which means we will show the app permissions. The transaction will also always make sure that this data actually matches what gets deployed. Before this change an invalid metadata in the summary cache could lead to a NULL resolved_metadata, which means we wouldn't print the app permissions, yet we would still deploy some metadata file that could have permissions. (NOTE: It would fail to deploy unless the xa.metadata in the commit matched the metadata file, but in this corner case we would't compare the summary and commit metadata, so they may differ.)
