[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 docs 12/12] move inheritance section / remove redundant general text

As inheritance is a property of paths, so it makes sense to
make them a subsection of them.

The permissions paragraph in what used to be a 'terms and
definitions' section now doesn't fit in and is redundant now
that there's a general introduction paragraph.

-Permissions
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Permissions are the way we control access to objects. In technical
-terms they are simply a triple containing `<path,user,role>`. This
-concept is also known as access control lists. Each permission
-specifies a subject (user or group) and a role (set of privileges) on
-a specific path.
-
-When a subject requests an action on an object, the framework looks up
-the roles assigned to that subject (using the object path). The set of
-roles defines the granted privileges.
