Issue 3026: Permissions: support exceptions for BLOCK rules.

We do support exceptions for BLOCK rules by adding an ALLOW rule within the same section.
However, this is more than an exception to the BLOCK, as it actually gives permissions to this group.

However there are use-cases where it makes sense to make sure that child project can give a permission only to members of a special group.

One way to implement this feature would be to specifying an exception to a BLOCK rule with DENY in addition to ALLOW.

This way, any DENY rule in the same section as a BLOCK rule would take preference and could be overruled by child projects.
