Configurations API Update

The /configurations and/configurations/{code} API endpoints are used to update FAIR configurations. This change allows users to update selected FAIR configurations via the API using a long life token.

Two new token permissions have been added to enable this:

1. The token can view system configuration details, e.g. the default system role - this allows users to retrieve configuration details via the API using a long life token.
2. The token can update non-secure system configuration details - this allows users to update selected configurations using a long life token

When the update permission is applied the following configuration items can be updated using a long life token :

1. default-search-config- set a default search configuration
2. default-catalogue-definition - set a default catalogue definition
3. enable-workflow-task-list-link - toggle the link to users camunda task list from the Review Requests tab on and off

All other configuration changes made via the API still require a session access token.
