This commit reworks the macaroon authentication framework to use the
v2 macaroon format and bakery API. It also replaces the code in each
RPC method which calls the macaroon verifier with interceptors which
call the macaroon verifier instead. In addition, the operation
permissions are reworked to fit the new format of "allow" commands
(specifically, entity/operation permissions instead of method
permissions).
This commit is a precautionary commit put in place in order to ensure
that the logic of macaroon retrieval doesn’t run into a bug triggered
by returning a reference into bolt’s active memory map. This can arise
if one returns a pointer directly read from the database. We seek to
avoid this by instead ensuring all byte slices are fully copied before
returning.
