 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="33988"
 Multisite: Allow users with `manage_network_users` to edit network users.

 Other users in a network can now be given capabilities to manage users
 without also having global super admin privileges.

 * Users with `manage_network_users` can not edit super admins.
 * Users with `manage_network_users` can not promote users to super admin.
 * Uses of `is_super_admin()` in `user-new.php` are now updated to
 `manage_network_users`.

 Props daniellandau, chriscct7.
 Fixes #16860.
