More granular control of EGO_SERVICES_CONTROL for notebook consumers

This has been explained with figures in the slack thread: https://ibmsystemslabservices.slack.com/archives/GTDAWABQX/p1643389039169000


Today, in order for a user to be able to start/stop its own notebook in an instance group, the permission EGO_SERVICE_CONTROL is required. However, assigning such a permission to a level in the consumer tree for the Jupyter_6_0_0_ consumer creates the side effect that users can start/stop other users notebooks in the isntance group through the System Services -> Ego Services -> Services entry in the GUI.


The expected behavior requested by this RFE is that a user would only be able to start/stop its own notebook service, not other users notebooks. This could be accomplished by having the GUI itself filter the actions - but doing so would still allow a knowledgeable user to use egosh to do it - or to create a special permission to control notebook services, or some other idea.
