[Building Sakai] Not limited joiner roles in site creation

Hi everybody.

In SAK-18462, it was changed the way joinable sites work. Now there are 
a list of permissions that roles must NOT have to be allowed to join the 
site. For example, maintains have site.upd, so if this permission is in 
the list, it is not possible to set the joinable site to join new users 
as maintains.

This new behaviour has been configured by default and is not documented 
anywhere (or maybe I haven't seen in the proper places), so is easy that 
new becomers to 2.9 don't notice it and don't know why is happening 
(like me).

But my doubt is: how can I disable it? I want maintain roles back but 
setting siteinfo.prohibited_permission_for_joiner_role with empty value 
in sakai.properties doesn't seem to have effect.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
