    Enh: simplify rights checking

    At present, access checking is quite complicated:
    
    ```
    local canUse = false
    if doc.private then
        if account then
            if not rights then
                rights = aaa.rights(r, account)
            end
            canUse = utils.canAccessDoc(doc, rights)
        end
    else
        canUse = true
    end
    if canUse then
    ...
    end
    ```
    
    This is because it may be expensive to fetch the rights so it should only be done if necessary.
    It would be nice to be able to do something like the following:
    ```
    if utils.canAccessDoc(doc, ...) then
    ...
    end
    ```
    If the caller passed a function to the canAccessDoc() method, the function could cache the rights the first time it was called.
