Update the task policies

At one point, these policies were used to protect actual task API
endpoints. Since then, they have also been used internally within
glance when spawning a task on behalf of the user for long-running
operations (like import).

These policies should not apply to the internal usage, as doing so
prevents the operator from setting them to restrictive values in order
to provide granular access to some roles. In the future we will fix
that by moving those checks out of "the onion" and into the task API
operations themselves, thus decoupling the internal and external uses.

This adds documentation and scope definitions for these policies, as
well as deprecates the "modify_task" policy which is never used and
will be removed in the future. Control over the actual tasks API
remains coarse with the "tasks_api_access" policy until a future
release completes the above decoupling.
