Niall Bunting 969309ffae Change default policy to admin
From: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/309346/

"
I investigated the behaviour of the policy file when various policies
are removed.

A completely empty policy file will return a 403 Forbidden. As the user
will not match with any of the policies.

However, because glance has the policy ``default: ""``. It means that
any policy that is not explicitly stated in the the policy.json, is
by default usable by any member. I think that the ``default`` option
is a potentially bad thing to have in the policy.json file, due to the
ability to give permissions without explicitly stating it.
"

Therefore we should change ``"default": "",`` to ``"default":
"role:admin",``. To make sure that members don't inherit policies that
they shouldn't in the future. From a operators perspective it should be
more secure to have an opt-in rather than opt-out.
