There are two ways of accessing a resource via REST API; either:
- you have the required permission
- you do not have the permission but you are owner of the object, e.g. you want
to GET your own patron information

In many cases we want to perform additional operations if the user is accessing
his own object. Usually this additional operation is checking a system
preference.

Example: Patron wants to update his own patron information via REST API. We
have to check OPACPatronDetails system preference for this. If it is on, we
should forward the changes for approval from a librarian.

Currently, in controller, we can check this opac-like access by checking that
the user does not have permissions and that the patron he is accessing is
himself. This would require another haspermission() call.

Instead, we could set a flag into $c->stash in Koha/REST/V1.pm in the case of
ownership access. After this, in controller, we only need to check $c->stash
for this flag.
