#20041: Disable "Priority" and "Severity" fields for new users

--------------------------------+---------------------------
 When a new user comes to report an issue in trac, they always seem to
 overestimate the severity of their problem.

 I guess this is normal human psychology, but it makes the field less
 useful for everyone else.

 So, I propose that only bug gardeners be allowed to set these fields,
 similar to how the milestone field works.
