[PATCH v12 28/49] richacl: Propagate everyone@ permissions to other aces

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

The trailing everyone@ allow ace can grant permissions to all file
classes including the owner and group class.  Before we can apply the
other mask to this entry to turn it into an "other class" entry, we need
to ensure that members of the owner or group class will not lose any
permissions from that ace.

Conceptually, we do this by inserting additional <who>:<allow>::allow
entries before the trailing everyone@ allow ace with the same
permissions as the trailing everyone@ allow ace for owner@, group@, and
all explicitly mentioned users and groups.  (In practice, we will rarely
need to insert any additional aces in this step.)

+ *     @allow.
+ *
+ *   - If the acl contains an allow ace for @who and no aces after this entry
+ *     deny permissions in @allow, we add the permissions in @allow to this
+ *     ace.  (Propagating permissions across a deny ace which can match the
+ *     process can elevate permissions.)
+ *
+ * This transformation does not alter the permissions that the acl grants.

+ *
+ * For example, the following acl implicitly grants everyone rwpx access:
+ *
+ *    joe:r::allow
+ *    everyone@:rwpx::allow
+ *
+ * When applying mode 0660 to this acl, group@ would lose rwp access, and joe

+ *
+ *    owner@:rwp::allow
+ *    joe:rwp::allow
+ *    group@:rwp::allow
+ *
+ * Deny aces complicate the matter.  For example, the following acl grants
+ * everyone but joe write access:
+ *
+ *    joe:wp::deny
+ *    everyone@:rwpx::allow
+ *
+ * When applying mode 0660 to this acl, group@ would lose rwp access, and joe
+ * would lose r access.  After propagating the everyone@ permissions, the
