Dave Borowitz 664d040c79 Add a Maintain Server global capability 
This capability allows for general maintenance tasks like flushing
caches and reindexing changes, without requiring either Administrate
Server (which is too broad) or a handful of other minor capabilities
(which we don't want to grow out of control).
