To clarify, part of the impetus for this request is that testing and use of
RevisionDelete is hindered because admins cannot in fact view material that is
admin-deleted using RevisionDelete. 

Admin level RevDel (as presently configured) is therefore in effect a form of
oversighting/suppression, because there is no ability for other admins to peer
review that material or discuss its deletion. So it's in a bit of a limbo --
the use of RevisionDelete with the "also suppress from administrators" flag
cannot really be legitimately tested at present because any material it could
be tested on should by definition be oversightable and deleted with
suppression. Right now we're relying on commonsense by oversighters and
understanding from the community as we test admin-level RevisionDelete, but
that's not ideal.

Granting admins the right to read (but not at this point modify flags for)
deleted-but-not-suppressed revisions would allow RevDel to be tested more fully
and remove this quandary. If the technical ability to do so was available in
software, that could then be achievable.
