it's kinda silly that the "Users can view signups" setting on admin/settings/signup exists as a global, site-wide setting. it should just be another permission. i'm tempted to backport this to 4.6, even.

now, with a DB update to convert old sites. if the old setting was enabled, this automatically adds the new perm to the "authenticated user" role and warns the admin to consider customizing this permission. either way, the old variable is deleted from the {variable} table.

after extensive discussion w/ webchick and add1sun in IRC, we think this new perm should be called "view all signups", not just "view signups", since we'll want to add a "view signups for own content" permission, too: http://drupal.org/node/126632
