[Building Sakai] Instructor should not be able to 'AddParticipants' but can manage participant status

[Zhen Qian]

Nicola:

How about add two new permissions:

site.upd.site.mbrshp.status
site.upd.site.mbrshp.role

If given "site.upd.site.mbrshp", user should be allowed to do case 1-3,
versus "site.upd.site.mbrshp.status" is for case 2 and
site.upd.site.mbrshp.role is for case 3.

How do you think?
