--------------------------------------------------------------

Converts AccessLevel to EnumSet<Permission> (with semantics from CASSANDRA-1271), but does not add or remove any authorize() calls. 1271 will add the new resources, and probably add a few authorize calls.

> Level based permissions are very limiting, and are likely to become restrictive. The original reasoning behind using levels seems to be that Thrift didn't allow an easy way to specify bitset permissions, but a Set<Enums> works equally well.
