Setting based permissions - downport (#158)

* Allow maintenance of per-setting permissions

(cherry picked from commit eed869a)

* Implicitly assign and revoke setting group permissions

(cherry picked from commit 28b769b)

* Improve Display of setting permissions

(cherry picked from commit 8523456)

* Add path to permission title

(cherry picked from commit c87a30d)

* Permission to access setting permissions

(cherry picked from commit 48b1076)

* Adapt wording

(cherry picked from commit daccad8)

* UI-adaptation: Allow users with permission 'manage-selected-permissions' to see and change the affected settings.
However, this is not reactive: Once the permissions for a particular setting are changed, the user needs to log  off and on again before it becomes effective in the UI.
This is most probably a consequence of the CachedCollection. This collection needed to be changed on permission-change.
In the backend however, the permissions become effective immediately.

(cherry picked from commit 00e4bb5)

* Don't adapt sorting on the client side

(cherry picked from commit 9b71b62)

* Fix: Apply changed setting permissions reactively

(cherry picked from commit 293ad73)

* Move setting-based permissions to own collection

(cherry picked from commit 8f59f1c)

* Unify collections for setting and other permissions again into one

(cherry picked from commit 8d923c2)

* Get rid of frontend exceptions on changing selected settings

(cherry picked from commit a7fdc87)

* - Sort permissions by group
- Do not try to create permissions for hidden settings in higher-level-callbacks
- Remove `setting-permissions` collection - fully integrated into `permissions`

(cherry picked from commit f007231)

* Harmonize wording in German

(cherry picked from commit 5cf5df2)
