New quick toggle & filter

For the clickable Joomla ACL permission grid to configure Joomla ACL easily, we have added a couple of new features (based on the feedback of our great users, thanks!). On top of the overview, you will now find a new button to quickly toggle all additional permissions of the overview. Just click on the button to expand all permissions for modules for example.

We also received a request to filter out the Fieldgroups & Fields of the relatively new Joomla custom fields functionality, so we have added a filter for that as well which you will find under the Search Tools of the permission grid. 

Besides these new features, we further improved the checks in the diagnostic tool of PWT ACL, to make it even more robust and capable of fixing Joomla sites with a complex messed up Joomla assets table.

Another change In PWT ACL was made for the Joomla core update component that no longer allows configuring permissions for the component. Instead, access is only allowed for Super-Users by default. Because of this change, you can no longer configure the permissions for the component in PWT ACL.

Changelog PWT ACL 3.3.0

+ -> Toggle button in permission grid header to toggle all additional actions
+ -> Option to disable backend access check, in diagnostics
+ -> New filter option to hide Fieldgroups & Fields from permission grid

# -> Prevent conflicts when fixing categories root if incorrect "root" ID is present
# -> Load extension language files to parse the additional actions language strings

^ -> Joomla! Update component no longer has its own permissions, access for Super Users only

$ -> Provided translation updated, thanks translators! (see the Translations page)
