In this change, you are adding "| ACCESS_INITIALLY_DENIED" to a bunch
of places in fs.c where a domain->fs_access_masks[...] is read.

In the documentation for the refer right, it is described with:

  This is also the only access right which is always considered
  handled by any ruleset in such a way that reparenting a file
  hierarchy is always denied by default.

Naive question: Is anything keeping us from also implementing it in
that way? We could pretend early during ruleset creation that the
caller had asked to also handle the "refer" right. Then we would just
have the "refer" bit set on every domain->fs_access_masks[...] entry.

Wouldn't that do the same, without further complicating the access
check logic in fs.c?

FWIW, one thing that would happen in this approach would be that users
could add rules asking to grant the "refer" right on files, on
rulesets where they have not previously declared it as a "handled"
right. It's debatable whether that is good API design, but it would
not do much damage either, and could also be fixed by keeping a copy
of the originally requested handled_access_fs.
