[Building Sakai] melete access as student

[Matthew Jones]

Shun's comment referenced the "Caution box" on the melete install guide. So
it should work in all newly created sites, but you have to backfill for any
existing sites.

*CAUTION:*

*a. *IF YOU FAIL TO CHECK THE MELETE.STUDENT AND MELETE.AUTHOR PERMISSIONS
FOR YOUR ROLES, MELETE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY.

*b.* IF YOU ADD MELETE TO _EXISTING SITES_, USERS WILL NOT HAVE THE MELETE
PERMISSIONS THAT YOU CHECKED. YOU WILL NEED TO USE !SITE.HELPER OR OTHER
SCRIPT TO PROPAGATE THE MELETE PERMISSION TO EXISTING SITES.
