sorry yeah, a lot of the review here kind of happened off list and i
forgot to add it in the end, let me add it here:

- added a patch that refactors the top-level privilege checking logic
  for the acl endpoints to use `CachedUserInfo`'s `check_privs` and to
  allow for configuring partial permission matches per product. this
  ideally also makes the permission checks easier to understand (patch
  proxmox 5)
- added a patch that refactors the `extract_acl_node_data` helper
  function to be non-recursive. this should improve the memory footprint
  of this function, especially when dealing with deeper trees (patch
  proxmox 6)

hopefully this won't have cause to much trouble as both changes are part
of their own additional patches.
