Summary:
Ref T603. I want to let applications define new capabilities (like "can manage global rules" in Herald) and get full support for them, including reasonable error strings in the UI.
Currently, this is difficult for a couple of reasons. Partly this is just a code organization issue, which is easy to fix. The bigger thing is that we have a bunch of strings which depend on both the policy and capability, like: "You must be an administrator to view this object." "Administrator" is the policy, and "view" is the capability.
That means every new capability has to add a string for each policy, and every new policy (should we introduce any) needs to add a string for each capability. And we can't do any piecemeal "You must be a {$role} to {$action} this object" becuase it's impossible to translate.
Instead, make all the strings depend on //only// the policy, //only// the capability, or //only// the object type. This makes the dialogs read a little more strangely, but I think it's still pretty easy to understand, and it makes adding new stuff way way easier.
Also provide more context, and more useful exception messages.
Test Plan:
- See screenshots.
- Also triggered a policy exception and verified it was dramatically more useful than it used to be.

Summary:
Ref T603. I want to provide at least a basic CLI tool for fixing policy problems, since there are various ways users can lock themselves out of objects right now. Although I imagine we'll solve most of them in the application eventually, having a workaround in the meantime will probably make support a lot easier.
This implements `bin/policy show <object>`, which shows an object's policy settings. In a future diff, I'll implement something like `bin/policy set --capability view --policy users <object>`, although maybe just `bin/policy unlock <object>` (which sets view and edit to "all users") would be better for now. Whichever way we go, it will be some blanket answer to people showing up in IRC having locked themselves out of objects which unblocks them while we work on preventing the issue in the first place.
Test Plan: See screenshot.
