chore: rename User#full_private_access? to User#can_read_all_resources?

What does this MR do?

Solve some technical debt by renaming User#full_private_access? to User#can_read_all_resources?. As part of the admin mode feature, we refactored this to use the policies framework, and can_read_all_resources? reflects much better the intended permission: administrators (and in EE auditors) have read access to all resources.

We follow the same approach as existing method User#can_create_group? to rename this one which also uses policies.

Closes #34856 (closed)
