Consul UI authorization issue on v1.10.0

[yilmazo]

Consul UI stopped showing the Key/Value menu button after upgrading from 1.7.2 to 1.10.0 when using tokens with key_prefix write policy.

Steps to reproduce;

1. Create a cluster with version 1.10.0 and acl enabled
2. Create a policy like below and create a token with this policy

key_prefix "foo/bar" {
    policy = "write"
}

3. Put a value to this path: foo/bar/baz
4. Open Consul UI and login with the token created on step 2.
5. Visit http://<consul_addr>/ui and you won't see Key/Value button on the left menu.
6. Visit http://<consul_addr>/ui/<dc>/kv and you will see foo/ folder. Clicking it will result with 403 error.
7. Visit http://<consul_addr>/ui/<dc>/kv/foo/bar and you will see baz key now. You can click it and edit its value.

Hi @yilmazo ,

Thanks for the report!

There's a PR (#10916) up that should go some way to fixing this problem, there is a larger problem we need to look at tho, so the fix there is "revert to previous functionality", which would unblock folks like yourself in the short term.

Thanks!
