Description

To better conform with the DataONE access control model, we are going to treat the change permission the same as all in the Metacat API. Currently, the three permissions are handled independently and do not cascade like they do in DataONE.
With this change, higher permissions will implicitly allow lower (write implies read; changepermission implies write and read; all will still mean all three)

I've updated the 2.6 branch code to reflect this more relaxed interpretation of ACLs. I've also modified the access control tests to treat the permissions as cascading.
