In a private site, the admin might not wish forum topics to be viewable anonymously.

This simple patch adds a security flag for "view forum topic" and grants or denies access appropriately. Forums (listings of topics) are unaffected, and are viewable. But when an unauthorized user clicks to view the topic itself, they are denied access.

This is my first submission, so go easy. :)

After a little more research into other patches, I see that this patch will not prevent topics from showing up on the front page or in RSS. :(

A richer access control system is needed.
