In #1279712: Revamp the Field Permissions user interface to make it more intuitive we apparently made "private" fields behave a little bit differently than was intended.

We basically made them behave like the Drupal core Profile module's "hidden" fields (i.e. they do not appear when viewing the full node/user/etc object, even to users that have permission to see them).

However, the desired behavior is now to make them behave more like the core Profile module's "private" fields - guess that works well given the name we eventually chose :) In other words, the author and site administrators can see them everywhere by default, like this:

The attached patch implements this change.
