When runtime permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is missing/denied, calling ImageCapture.takePicture hangs indefinitely. There is an error logged (in a separate process) that indicates the root cause:

```
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri content://media/external/images/media from pid=XXXXX, uid=XXXXX requires android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()
```

It seems that `androidx.camera` doesn't handle this error correctly, or at all.

Marked as fixed.

Hi, we're heavily using CameraX API for recording video and this is much anticipated feature for us. Is there any timeframe for this issue? Thanks
