Review Comment:
   I don't think we are tied to a shared persistence layer. The foreign key 
constraints are implied, not explicit, so the grant records don't actually 
_need_ to point to a valid entity id (valid from the grant record's persistence 
layer's perspective). What matters is that the grant version of the entity 
changes when the grant records are changed, but even that is not guaranteed in 
a non-transactional database system. I.e., there is no CAS that guarantees 
grant records are persisted _and_ that the entity grant version changes 
atomically.
   
   Introducing a `ForeignGrantRecords` concrete type means that the authorizer 
has to handle both native grants and external grants, which is more code to 
maintain and test.
