Normally, deleting a file requires write and execute access to the parent
directory. With Richacls, a process with MAY_DELETE_SELF access to a file
may delete the file even without write access to the parent directory.
To support that, pass the MAY_DELETE_CHILD mask flag to inode_permission()
when checking for delete access inside a directory, and MAY_DELETE_SELF
when checking for delete access to a file itelf.
The MAY_DELETE_SELF permission does not override the sticky directory
check. It probably should.
