Reading from the metric cache is somewhat expensive, so validate as many
of the required permissions as possible. For host metrics, we can
do the full check in advance. For datastores, we check if we have
audit permissions for *any* datastore. If we do not have privs for
either of those, we return early and avoid reading from the
cache altogether.
