No longer special case 'patrol' in $wgFilterLogTypes

Previously, if you did not have the right to patrol/view patrolmarks,
you were not allowed to filter Special:Log to remove autopatrol
entries.

Now if wikiadmins want to disable the filtering, they have to
directly change the config value.

This was stupid because:
* Users without patrol rights are just as likely to not care about
  autopatrol spam as users with the priv.
* Sometimes wikiadmins want to hide old patrol log entries even
  after they disabled the patrol feature.

It should be noted there have been two previously attempts at fixing
this issue that didn't go anywhere:
* I9de17fc197a06402a4999a9fb792b86657641f76
* I88448ca0f09069943fd514a5b8213dfdafa57299
