Prevent Repository local path edit from the web UI

Description

Prevent Repository local path edit from the web UI

Summary:
Ref T4039. This fixes an issue where a user with the ability to create repositories could view repositories he is otherwise not permitted to see, by following these steps:

  • Suppose you want to see repository "A".
  • Create a repository with the same VCS, called "B".
  • Edit the local path, changing "/var/repo/B" to "/var/repo/A".
  • Now it points at a working copy of a repository you can't see.
  • Although you won't be able to make it through discovery (the pull will fail with the wrong credentials), you can read some information out of the repository directly through the Diffusion UI, probably?

I'm not sure this was really practical to execute since there are a bunch of sanity checks along most/all of the major pathways, but lock it down since normal users shouldn't be editing it anyway. In the best case, this would make a mess.
