Allow Boolean operators for Permissions

[vethan]

Currently, permissions are provided as a list of BasePermission instances, treated implicitly as ANDs. It would be grand to instead be able to use AND and OR operators when passing in permissions.

Feature Request Type

• Core functionality
• [ X] Alteration (enhancement/optimization) of existing feature(s)
• New behavior

Description

This has been discussed on discord. Proposed approach is overriding the & and | operators for BasePermission, which would allow permissions to be passed in as follows:

IsAuthed() & (ControlsAccount() | IsAdmin())

This may need some changes to the on_unauthorized and has_permission interface, as the separation / statelessness between has_permission and on_unauthorized means that a parent permission's on_unauthorized wouldn't know WHICH of its child permissions failed.

Additionally, some thought will be needed to handling the combination of sync and async combined permissions
