setPrivate, unsetPrivate

Even if access is granted according to the ACL, the specific object may have been setPrivate. The implementation does a separate check for whether the object is setPrivate, and there is a separate continuation policy for failed attempts to access one.

As with document.ACL, we only allow the script that created a document to set or unsetPrivate objects.
