Refactoring and cleanups in preparation for DENIES

Details

    • Q2/2025 Development

    Description

      There is quite a lot of technical debt within the ACL code. Some of it can be fixed in stable versions as it involves minimal logic changes.

      This task covers all the cleanups and related refactorings, in preparation for DENIES.

            Hi Sanja!

            Let's get denies review going by first merging all my cleanup commits. Please review
            https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/2704

            cleanup: labeled commits should be very safe.
            refactor: labeled commits have the potential to introduce regressions so should be examined more closely.
            bugfix: labeled commits are just bug fixes that I discovered while coding.
