Per T90004 and the original discussion on Commons, we should add the upload_by_url user right to all registered users on Commons. Note that actual use of this right is restricted by a site whitelist, so it's not quite as risky as it sounds. We also limited the number of Flickr images that can be imported at once in T236341.

@AlexisJazz - This has been delayed by a deployment blocker: T251457. Once that bug is fixed and Commons is re-updated to wmf.30, we can reschedule this deployment.

For documentation purposes, this change broke an unrelated abuse filter on Commons, due to the usage of the upload_by_url right to detect users. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons_talk:Abuse_filter&oldid=420062168#Filter_153
