Add network privileges for Organization administrators

In older versions of VCD, by default the Organization administrator had permissions to 'View provider networks'.

In newer versions, when an Organization administrator tries to access an external network, they may get an error about Cannot check if network urn vcloud network is external.

To resolve this issue, add permissions to the Organization Admin role:

1. Log in to VCD as the Administrator
2. Go to Administration
3. Go to Global Roles → edit Organization Admin → select 'NETWORKING - Provider Network - View'
4. Save and Publish the changes
5. Go to Rights Bundles → edit Default Rights Bundle → select 'NETWORKING - Provider Network - View'
6. Save and Publish the changes
7. Check the administrator of an existing organization to ensure they have the correct permissions.
