Enh: simplify rights checking
At present, access checking is quite complicated:
```
local canUse = false
if doc.private then
if account then
if not rights then
rights = aaa.rights(r, account)
end
canUse = utils.canAccessDoc(doc, rights)
end
else
canUse = true
end
if canUse then
...
end
```
This is because it may be expensive to fetch the rights so it should only
be done if necessary.
It would be nice to be able to do something like the following:
```
if utils.canAccessDoc(doc, ...) then
...
end
```
If the caller passed a function to the canAccessDoc() method, the function
could cache the rights the first time it was called.
