Tim Gross 484f91b893 auth: remove "mixed auth" special casing for Variables endpoint (#18744)
The RPC handlers expect to see `nil` ACL objects whenever ACLs are disabled. By
using `nil` as a sentinel value, we have the risk of nil pointer exceptions and
improper handling of `nil` when returned from our various auth methods that can
lead to privilege escalation bugs. This is the third in a series to eliminate
the use of `nil` ACLs as a sentinel value for when ACLs are disabled.

This patch involves leveraging the refactored `auth` package to remove the weird
"mixed auth" helper functions that only support the Variables read/list RPC
handlers. Instead, pass the ACL object and claim together into the
`AllowVariableOperations` method in the usual `acl` package.
