[sakai2-tcc] Patch that adds ability to view realms but not modify them

[Bryan Holladay]

DelegatedAccess won't be able to give this kind of functionality since
it doesn't exist in Sakai.  It could give you access to a site that
has the realm tool and give you permissions to use it but since its an
"all or nothing" tool, it wouldn't be read only access.

I don't think this patch is any worse then having the roster tool with
permissions to view or not view the roster.  As long as OOTB Sakai
doesn't give students permission to view all realms and their rosters,
then it's just another option that helps make Sakai more flexible.
