Log Message:

The old 'peak.security' implementation has been removed, and replaced with
a simpler, more flexible implementation based on generic functions (using
less than half the code and seven fewer interfaces).  Complete docs
and API tests for the new implementation can be found in 'rules.txt' in
the 'peak.security' package directory.

(Note: as a side-effect of this change, the old 'security.IInteraction'
interface and 'security.Interaction' class can now be temporarily found
as 'web.IInteraction' and 'web.Interaction' respectively.  Both will soon
be refactored out of existence, however, so please update your code
accordingly!)

Also, the new implemetation does not require redundant
'security.allow(security.Anybody)' declarations just because you've
declared other permissions for a class, so these declarations have been
removed from ``peak.web``.  They don't do any harm, however, so you can
leave them in your own code as long as you change them to use
'binding.metadata()' instead of the deprecated 'security.allow()'.
