Abhishek Kekane f8551de8c9 Make some metadef operations admin-only
This restricts all metadef resource manipulation to admin-only, but
still allow users to see everything. There are multiple low-grade
security issues with the metadef API, detailed in the related bug.
Restricting resource manipulation to admin-only solves most of these
concerns.

The default policy for the `metadef` API has changed from "open to
everyone" to "only admins can create and modify resources". We
believe that this is by far the most common use-case and the only
sane default. See Bug 1916926_ for more details.
