[Building Sakai] property that controls site title editing permission in 2.8.0

[Steve Swinsburg]

I use this property at many installations. I agree that site titles should be editable so would support a fix that had that as at the default and then you could turn them off if need be, which is the rarer case. A mostly backwards compatible fix would be to set sensible defaults on the new property (probably course) and have the current property ignored, then people can disable more as they desire. 

cheers
Steve
