Problem/Motivation

As initially proposed here in #1550540: Rules "Permission check" parameters are inverted; should be "Skip permission check" the "Trim a flag" rule action does not provide for permissions to be overridden when doing the trim. Since a trim is effectively a bulk unflag, it seems appropriate to support overrides as the unflag rule action does.

Proposed resolution

Provide this parameter as a checkbox in the rules configuration.

Remaining tasks

Patch rolling shortly, reviews needed

User interface changes

New checkbox for "Skip permission check" in the Trim a flag rule action configuration form.

API changes

The procedural function flag_trim_flag() now accepts $skip_permission_check as an optional argument, defaults to FALSE.
