Social: Fix permissions for update/delete connections endpoints #38187

From the linked task:

Currently we check if the current user ID matches the keyring connection user ID, and if they have permission to edit other's posts. However, it seems that anyone can disconnect shared connections.

Actually WPCOM handles all these permissions but we should still handle these from inside Jetpack. It will:

  • Prevent the unintended error messages from WPCOM being shown to non-admin authors
  • Speed up the request by preventing an extra request to WPCOM

Proposed changes:

  • Fix the permissions for the update and disconnect connections endpoint.
  • Ensure that non-editor authors are not able to mark connections as shared.

Other information:

  • Have you written new tests for your changes, if applicable?
  • Have you checked the E2E test CI results, and verified that your changes do not break them?
  • Have you tested your changes on WordPress.com, if applicable (if so, you'll see a generated comment below with a script to run)?
