Adding globalblock-exempt to Grants in GlobalBlocking extension for OAuth use

Description

My bot has the global IP block exempt flag. Editting through OAuth does not recognize this and keeps me blocked while in fact my bot account is exempted from them.

Error message:

WARNING: API error globalblocking-ipblocked-range: Your IP is in a range that has been globally blocked from editing
ERROR: Edit to page [[Moneda argentina]] failed:
globalblocking-ipblocked-range: Your IP is in a range that has been globally blocked from editing
[help:See https://es.wikipedia.org/w/api.php for API usage]

Confirmation:

Right are:

Bypass global blocks (globalblock-exempt)
Bypass automatic blocks of Tor exit nodes (torunblocked)

@Tgr Thanks for merging the patch. Since some users are already complaining that they can't edit due to this, can we backport this fix to the current MediaWiki version now? Is it possible to do so?

@Udo_T: with regards to your comment at T142155#2531460, the patch I submitted was backported to our current MediaWiki version by @Legoktm a couple of minutes ago, so this should be live now (cf. Stashbot comment above). The right is now part of the 'basic' grant permissions, and appears on the grants list as well: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGrants.

@MarcoAurelio : Thanks a lot for the previous hint and the info now. I have just restartded my bot with OAuth and it works fine now in all languages. Best regards Udo T.
