Problem/Motivation

In #2571235: [regression] Roles should depend on objects that are building the granted permissions → @alexpott found out that a number of entity permissions are not in the module that is providing the entity. For instance the permission "administer views" is in the views_ui module and not in the views module.

Proposed resolution

Move entity permissions to the modules that are providing the entity.
The following permissions will be moved:

  1. The permission "administer actions" has been moved from the action module to the system module;
  2. The permissions "administer url aliases" and "create url aliases" have been moved from the path module to the path_alias module;
  3. The permission "administer views" has been moved from the views_ui module to the views module;
  4. For all fieldable entities: The permissions "administer ENTITY_TYPE fields", "administer ENTITY_TYPE form display" and "administer ENTITY_TYPE display" have been moved from the field_ui module to the field module.
