Bringing the current systems closer together would be great.  There are not
many changes needed to implement the current block options as rights
functionality.

One step is to
* add a 'can edit own user talk' permission
* remove/deprecate $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit

Then the existing system can be replicated with an autopromote group 'blocked'
that uses APCOND_BLOCKED (r52083), and revokes 'edit' and grants 'editowntalk'
for wikis with $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit.

That would mean the three rights currently rights under admin control
('createaccount', 'sendemail', 'editowntalk') are proper permissions and the
storage details can be abstracted under the permissions API, which may continue
to access them from ipblocks table, or uses a new user_rights_override table
which would require the block logic is updated as well.
