Incorrect access denied messages in branding block

Error refers to pages the user does not have access

When a user does not have permission to do something, we don't usually have an explanation message.

I'd like to propose removing the "You do not have the appropriate permissions to change the ...." message. I have a client that became confused why he was not granted permission to do something, despite being so close to being able to do it.

And remove the "Defined on the XXX page." text if the user does not have permission to access it.

Steps to reproduce

Add a new user and assign a role other than administrator say Content Editor (comes default with Drupal 10)

From the admin permissions page /admin/people/permissions, give permission to "Administer blocks" for the "Content Editor"

Configure Site Branding block /admin/structure/block/manage/olivero_site_branding to see the results in "Toggle branding elements
" section

We never emit 'You do not have the appropriate permissions' anymore, so these assertions would still pass even if the patch didn't work.

Let's change them to assert the new string isn't emitted.

Let's also add some positive asserts for the user that does have the required permissions
