In the `userAcl` function, we build the criteria to do a permission
check, on the permission groups. The query turns out to be something
like this:
```
{policies: {$elemMatch: {permissionGroups: {$in: ["6303edf184daf727dddb003d", "6303edf184daf727dddb003e"]}}}}
```
Where that list of ID strings is the permission group IDs we're trying
to match against.
Now, when the permission group list is empty, we end up with a query
like this:
```
{policies: {$elemMatch: {permissionGroups: {$in: []}}}}
```
Which, is always `false`. It never matches any documents. Behaviour
equivalent to "no permissions".
In this PR, we avoid hitting the DB at all, when `permissionGroups` is
empty, but `permission` is not `null`.
One example where this scenario happens, is the tiny test
`TenantServiceCETest#setMapsKeyWithoutAuthentication`. This leads me to
believe that several API calls are dealing with this case:

All unit and Cypress tests pass on EE, no conflicts and doesn't break
build.
