To be figured out much later.

Still need to have some notion of “mine” vs “global”, though.

Got something going, here.

- Permissions are just arbitrary strings. So far I’m prefixing them with plugin names and making them actions, e.g. `forum:create-post`.
- Eventually, plugins will report their own canonical lists of permissions and descriptions thereof. This will be in code, not in the db, for the sake of keeping db upgrades simple.
- Permissions are assigned to roles. Users can have zero or more roles.
- Permissions assigned to `NULL` are available to all users.
- I’d kinda like to have un-permissions, e.g. for banning users.
