[OpenAFS-devel] GetVolumeStatus privileges

The documentation for several commands:

 - fs diskfree
 - fs examine
 - fs listquota
 - fs quota

says that the required privilege for successfully executing these is
"l", even as far back as the IBM documentation. However, all of these
use the GetVolumeStatus RPC, which requires PRSFS_READ, even as far
back as IBM AFS as far as I can tell (src/viced/afsfileprocs.c
SRXAFS_GetVolumeStatus).

Which should it be, r or l? I don't really imagine either way causing
problems, but the documentation and code should be consistent, shirley.
