+Bugfix: broken PROPFIND perms on gRPC
+
+When using the EOS gRPC stack, the permissions returned by PROPFIND
+on a folder in a project were erroneous because ACL permissions were
+being ignored. This stems from a bug in grpcMDResponseToFileInfo, 
+where the SysACL attribute of the FileInfo struct was not being populated.
+
+See: https://github.com/cs3org/reva/pull/4901
