As shown with UnchangeableTopicBug by KlausWriessnegger, when you mistype the ALLOWTOPICCHANGE setting you can lock completely a page from edit, even by the admin (ok, you can always telnet/ssh to the machine and edit topics by brute force ... ).

I have added to TWikiAlphaRelease Klaus' code and the configuration variable $superAdminGroup, that is the name of the group of superusers that can do everything.

The default setting is empty, that is, no superusers.

Committed a small change to alpha:

• the admin group name is now in the TWiki.cfg variable $superAdminGroup
• users in this group can do the undocumented command repRev
• if the TWiki.cfg variable $doSuperAdminGroup is 1 then they are always allowed edits/changes/whatever
