This capability will gate access to features that allow interacting with
a running allocation, for example, signalling, stopping, and rescheduling
specific allocations.
This commit adds basic support for globbing namespaces in acl
definitions.
For concrete definitions, we merge all of the defined policies at load time, and
perform a simple lookup later on. If an exact match of a concrete
definition is found, we do not attempt to resolve globs.
For glob definitions, we merge definitions of exact replicas of a glob.
When loading a policy for a glob defintion, we choose the glob that has
the closest match to the namespace we are resolving for. We define the
closest match as the one with the _smallest character difference_
between the glob and the namespace we are matching.
