#8179: Enable reporter editing of ticket descriptions via DefaultTicketPolicy

-------------------------+--------------------
Ticket reporters on WordPress.org Trac instances cannot edit their own
descriptions. Corrections require a contributor with elevated permissions.
Trac's `DefaultTicketPolicy` (1.3.2+) permits authenticated users with
`TICKET_APPEND` or `TICKET_CHGPROP` to modify descriptions on tickets they
reported. Edit history is preserved.
Reference: https://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/12719
Proposed change: add `DefaultTicketPolicy` to `permission_policies` in
`trac.ini`.
This affects any contributor who cannot self-correct their own ticket
descriptions without assistance from a contributor with elevated
permissions.
