We have a neighborhood flag private_projects that determines whether neighborhood admins can create a project as private. However, currently after registering a project a project admin can change their 'read' permission to not allow *anonymous. That makes the project private.

We should only allow that ACL change (removing anonymous read) within neighborhoods that allow private projects and by neighborhood admins (so it matches the restrictions at project creation time). Otherwise show an error message if attempted.

    We should probably also figure out how many/which projects have flipped that and send them a note that we're flipping it back.

    -We have a neighborhood flag that determines whether neighborhood admins can create a project as private.  However, any individual project admin can change their 'read' permission to not allow `*anonymous`.  That makes the project private.  We should only allow that ACL change within neighborhoods that allow private projects.  Otherwise show an error saying anonymous read cannot be removed.

    -To do: we should still have a way for site admins (higher level than neighborhood admin, which isn't really defined yet) to make a project private.
