Description

This is in support of a use case of a user interface for defining permissions where you would like the option to pick the everyone group for an access control entry.

Some principals like the everyone group don't have a corresponding Authorizable.  The existing AuthorizableResourceProvider implementation does not provide a resource for that principal.

So for the use case where UserManager#getAuthorizable returns null but the PrincipalManager#getPrincipal returns non-null then we should have a PrincipalResource instead of skipping it.
