[STR New]

cf. STR #2101, cupsd should return HTTP_FORBIDDEN instead of
HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED for IPP requests that have been denied due to policy
preventing this particular user from completing the action.

An example: trying to cancel a job owned by another user.  Currently it
asks for your password repeatedly.

(I filed this previously as STR #3191 but you closed it as a duplicate of
the already-closed STR #2101 because it won't be fixed in 1.3.x.)
