Move out flags validation and license checks out of the permission checks. They were intermingled, which makes subsequent changes harder. Clean this up: perform straightforward flag validation upfront, and fetch and check license later, right where we use it. Also consolidate capabilities check in one block, right after basic attribute sanity checks.
