[Building Sakai] Patching site info to hide user IDs from students

[Curtis Van-Osch]

Hello,
Here at HEC Montréal, we're working on upgrading our system from Sakai 
2.8.1 to Sakai 2.9.1.  We're taking this opportunity to try and 
eliminate as many of our source code modifications as we can, to 
facilitate future upgrades.  Unfortunately we have many patches to the 
code that are a little hacky.  We're in the process of deciding which 
are really important to us, and look forward to cleaning them up and 
contributing them back upstream to the community.

For example, the first that I'm working on now is a patch that would 
allow us to hide the user ids from students in the Site Info roster 
list.  Our solution has been to create a new permission called 
'site.viewRoster.displayId' to be applied to certain roles.  I'd be 
happy to create an issue in Jira and attach a patch if there would be 
any interest in including it in a future version (once I'm done merging 
and testing it, of course).

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
