Remove the "move-rootuserpages" right from all user groups without autopatrol flag on Commons.

Event Timeline

That right is currently assigned to admins and all users. We can assign the right to users who currently have the autopatrol flag, but we can't bind the right to be always auto-assigned to future new group also having autopatrol.
