Support an additional (more standard) inheritance rule

Registered by Henry Nash

Add support (in addition to the current inheritance rule) for the more standard rule that inherited role assignments should be active on the project on which they are placed, as well as sub-projects.

After consideration, to abandon this for the following reason:

- the increased risk of confusion by introducing a new inheritance model would probably outweigh the advantage of having a more standard model.
- you can create the same affect as the standard method by using 2 assignments (one direct on the target, and one inherited that will apply to all the children of the target).
- there are some use cases where the existing inheritance model still makes sense (e.g. on a project acting as a domain)
