   ### Description of PR
   
   When a permission provider plugin is enabled (eg Ranger) there are some 
scenarios where it can throw a sub-class of an AccessControlException (eg 
RangerAccessControlException). If this exception is allowed to propagate up the 
stack, it can give problems in the HDFS Client, when it unwraps the remote 
exception containing the AccessControlException sub-class.
   
   Ideally, we should make AccessControlException final so it cannot be 
sub-classed, but that would be a breaking change at this point. Therefore I 
believe the safest thing to do, is to catch any AccessControlException that 
comes out of the permission enforcer plugin, and re-throw an 
AccessControlException instead.
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   
   New Unit test
