Administer permissions should allow registration creation

Problem/Motivation

My understanding of the usual meaning of 'administer' for Drupal permissions is that it usually means 'can do anything', like a super-permission that covers all other permissions. There's even code in EntityAccessControlHAndler that enforces this for the admin permission defined in annotations on the entity type.

This module's 'administer registration' does work in this way is its specified on the entity type.

The bundle permission "administer $type_id registration" looks like it should have the same meaning, but just for a single type. But actually it doesn't, it doesn't give create access.

The description of the permissions does sort-of hint at this difference, but it's still a potentially confusing inconsistency.

Proposed resolution

Ensure that "administer $type registration" works the same as "administer registration".
