Chore: share one base class for the method-mapped permission classes

ViewDocumentsPermissions, TrashPermissions, PaperlessNotePermissions and
AcknowledgeTasksPermissions each repeated the same has_permission body and
disagreed on HTTP methods missing from their perms_map.

GlobalPermissionsByMethod now holds that logic once. HEAD is checked
against the GET entry and a method missing from the map is denied. The
task acknowledge map gains OPTIONS, now requiring change_paperlesstask
like POST instead of being open to any authenticated user. The global
statistics and system status checks also share their active and
authenticated preamble.
