Implementation and tests for _r field on actor, refs #1855

New mechanism for restricting permissions further for a given actor.

This still needs documentation. It will eventually be used by the mechanism to issue
signed API tokens that are only able to perform a subset of actions.

This also adds tests that exercise the POST /-/permissions tool, refs #1881
