Features

--------

- In support of making it easier to configure applications which are
  "secure by default", a default permission feature was added.  If
  supplied, the default permission is used as the permission string to
  all view registrations which don't otherwise name a permission.
  These APIs are in support of that:

  - A new constructor argument was added to the Configurator:
    ``default_permission``.

  - A new method was added to the Configurator:
    ``set_default_permission``.

  - A new ZCML directive was added: ``default_permission``.

Documentation
-------------

- Added documentation for the ``default_permission`` ZCML directive.

- Added documentation for the ``default_permission`` constructor value
  and the ``set_default_permission`` method in the Configurator API
  documentation.

- Added a new section to the "security" chapter named "Setting a
  Default Permission".

- Document ``renderer_globals_factory`` and ``request_factory``
  arguments to Configurator constructor.
