setResourceCreatePermissions() does not allow resetting of current direct permissions without granting rights #4

Similar to issue #3, the current limitation in setResourceCreatePermissions() is that I can't call it successfully if I don't have granting rights on a create permission granted by someone else, because it would either be an unauthorized add/remove (depending on if I specified such a permission).

We want to be able to call setResourceCreatePermissions() with the current direct create permissions, without affecting anything.

In other words: If grantor G has permission to grant create permission P on resource class C to accessor A, then G should be able to call setResourceCreatePermissions() with a set that includes any current direct create permissions to which G does not have granting rights, in order for G to make use of his granting rights to P.
