When a non-root user logged into PDM, the Top Entities section was
not visible, even though the required privileges had been assigned.

To fix it allow all authenticated users to access the `/top-entities`
endpoint. Also added explicit privilege checks to validate the access
on resources.

imo: mention that the returned top entities will be filter by the users
permissions based on what resources they have access to in the commit
message.

some nits and comments in-line.

nit: remove this fixme while you are at it :)

nit: typically we have the `access` portion toward the end of the api
macro. would be nice to have this here too for consistency but no
blocker.

however, it would be nice to add a description here that users need to
have permissions to at least some resource under `/resources` for this
api endpoint not to bail with an UNAUTHORIZED error. and also that the
results will be filtered by resources that a user has access too. so
something like this maybe:

The user needs to have at least `PRIV_RESOURCE_AUDIT` on one resources
under `/resource`. Only resources for which the user has
`PRIV_RESOURCE_AUDIT` on `/resource/{remote_name} will be considered
when calculating the top entities.

i know there is another endpoint like this in the same file, but we
usually use 403 ("Forbidden") when a user does not have sufficient
permissions and 401 ("Unauthorized") when there is no authentication at
all. imo it would be nice to keep that consistent, so this should be a
`FORBIDDEN`.
