This helps the data browser know whether or not a ACL can be deleted

Root ACLs should never be deleted. (#1289)

This hack is working with solid-ui to indicate whether a ACL resource is working toward the root container of a Pod. (https://github.com/solid/solid-ui/pull/96)

@megoth NSS is now EOL, so we would have to make this change in https://github.com/inrupt/wac-ldp/blob/master/src/lib/authorization/AclManager.ts#L102-L109 instead.

But apart from that, this would create an undocumented link between the databrowser (a Solid app) and the inrupt pod-server (a Solid storage server). If you think all pod servers should have this triple in their root ACL then you should add it to https://github.com/solid/specification first, and then from there it will get added to the test-suite and to the implementations. Does that make sense?

This would create a new behaviour that is not documented in the spec but that some Solid apps may start relying on.

I agree, it's not good to introduce hacky interim-solutions. I've added an issue to the Data Interoperability Panel that will hopefully find some standardized way of allowing this.

I'll close this PR unless someone thinks it should be added anyway, albeit being a undocumented hack.
