Performance improvements of the new account DB handling.

<listitem><para>
Since 1.7.34, chmod does not always affect the POSIX permission mask as
returned by stat(2) or printed by ls(1), due to the improved POSIX ACL
handling. However, that's still far from perfect, so, as a temporary
workaround, chmod now checks if secondary groups and users in the ACL
have more permissions than the primary group. If so, the permissions of
the secondary users and groups will be reduced according to the mask
given by the new primary group permissions. I.e, chmod 600 will remove
all permissions from the primary group as well as all secondary user and
group entries in the ACL.

<listitem><para>
Change handling of group permissions if owner SID == group SID. Now the
group permissions don't mirror the user permissions anymore, thus
leading to less hassle with security-conscious applications.

<listitem><para>
Allow group SID to be the same as owner SID for "Microsoft Accounts".
Those have the group in their user token set to the owner SID by
default. Drop the workaround to change their primary group to "Users".
It's not required anymore due to the aforementioned changes.

Change getfacl long options from --all to --access and from --dir to
