Change SystemPermission to be a two arguement permission with a name (object
the permission is on) and an action.

Key: DERBY-3491
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3491
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Security
Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner
With the additional system permissions proposed in DERBY-3462 I wonder if it
makes sense to change the style of names & actions in SystemPermission.
Today a "shutdown" name is proposed and potential for future "shutdownEngine"
and "shutdownServer" with no actions.
DERBY-3462 is proposing names of jmxControl, serverControl, engineControl etc
also with no actions.
Looking at the standard Permission class it seems the name is meant to
represent an object that the permission applies to and action represent actions
on that object.
Thus it would seem to make more sense and be consistent with other Permissions
to have:
name=server action=control | monitor | shutdown
name=engine action=control | monitor | shutdown
name=jmx action=control
