[RFC v4 25/31] richacl: Isolate the owner and group classes

When applying the file masks to an acl, we need to ensure that no
process gets more permissions than allowed by its file mask.

This may require inserting an owner@ deny ace to ensure this if the
owner mask contains fewer permissions than the group or other mask.  For
example, when applying mode 0466 to the following acl:

   everyone@:rw::allow

A deny ace needs to be inserted so that the owner won't get elevated
write access:

   owner@:w::deny
   everyone@:rw::allow

Likewise, we may need to insert group class deny aces if the group mask
contains fewer permissions than the other mask.  For example, when
applying mode 0646 to the following acl:

   owner@:rw::allow
   everyone@:rw::allow

A deny ace needs to be inserted so that the owning group won't get
elevated write access:

   owner@:rw::allow
   group@:w::deny
   everyone@:rw::allow
