[Building Sakai] Not limited joiner roles in site creation

[Daniel Merino]

Answering myself, this can be disabled configuring the property in 
sakai.properties with any value that is NOT a permission. I.e:

siteinfo.prohibited_permission_for_joiner_role=false

though IMHO an empty value in this property should not take site.upd as 
prohibited permission by default.

Best regards.
