Standard access restrictions should include 'Friends only'.

Description

When you create blog posts or upload files, you are currently limited to only three default access controls:

'public' 'logged in users' 'private'

That is probably either too open or too closed. I propose to add 'Friends only', in a fashion similar to the access restriction on communities. The included patch allows just that.

See the z_acsext (formerly acsext) plugin for this exact functionality:

Perhaps this extension should be included in the core distribution of modules? I use it all the time, and it works great.

I missed that plugin, but you are right, it seems to do the same and a bit more even. I'm not too keen on it's dependence on the include order though. I would definitely advise to have this included in the core. I think the functionality it offers is essential!
