Change subject: Update 'right-protect', 'right-autoconfirmed' messages
......................................................................
Update 'right-protect', 'right-autoconfirmed' messages
* The "autoconfirmed" right is now only used to determine "newbie"
status for the purpose of rate limiting, so I updated the
"right-autoconfirmed" message accordingly.
* The "protect" right now does not allow the user to edit protected
pages, so I updated the "right-protect" message accordingly.
* Also removed outdated portions of code comments referring to the
now-fixed bug identified in r31462; the 'protect' right is now
necessary to edit any directly or indirectly cascade-protected
page.
