ADMIN required for `status` in hbase shell (HBASE-19131)

Hey folks,

Our Romil has been doing some testing with the tip of branch-2 and 
noticed this little wrinkle with authn/authz enabled.

In <branch-1.4, any user could invoke `status` in the shell. After 
HBASE-19131, the user needs ADMIN to be able to do this. It's not 100% 
clear to me from the release notes whether or not this was an expected 
change. I'm unsure if it's the right thing to do or not.

For `status 'detailed'`, I could see this extra information telling a 
little "too much" for a normal user. But, for a plain-jane `status`, 
number of HBase Master instances, regionservers (dead and alive), and 
the average load seems fine for normal users.

Thanks in advance!

- Josh

Thanks boss.

Will file something and we can either land for the next RC or for beta-2.
