[Building Sakai] Permission to see official photos in Roster2

[Qu, Yuanhua]

Hi Daniel

We, Texas State University, also use profile2 tool and roster tool to show
official photos in roster tool with official photos loaded from URL.

It has been working for our sakai 282 and also 292 instance.  Here is the
patch I put in the JIRA you might want to look and apply to profile2 to
support this feature in old roster tool.

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/PRFL-789


Hope it works for you.  Good luck.

-Qu
