WebAdmin and REST API: remove too granular permissions

Our permissions system for admin users is too granular and some
permissions overlap. For example, you can define an administrator
with the "manage_system" permission and not with the "manage_admins"
or "manage_user" permission, but the "manage_system" permission
allows you to restore a backup and then create users and
administrators. The following permissions will be removed:
"manage_admins", "manage_apikeys", "manage_system", "retention_checks",
"manage_event_rules", "manage_roles", "manage_ip_lists". Now you
need to add the "*" permission to replace the removed granular
permissions because the removed permissions allow actions that
should only be allowed to super administrators.
There is no point in having separate, overlapping permissions.
