Permissions SQL API improvements (#2558)

* Neater design for PermissionSQL class, refs #2556
  - source is now automatically set to the source plugin
  - params is optional
* PermissionSQL.allow() and PermissionSQL.deny() shortcuts

Closes #2556

* Filter out temp database from attached_databases()
