Server admins can now promote or demote any member of any faction to/from faction admin or moderator using the existing /f admin and /f mod commands, which can now also be used from the server console. Two new permissions are added to allow that. A third permission is also added to allow server admins or moderators to join any faction without the need of /f bypass mode.

Also, a couple more minor bugfixes are included for /f home payment giving the wrong message, player/faction descriptions being wrong for console messages, and potential NPE in new faction admin promotion routine if faction was permanent with no current admin.

New permissions:
factions.admin.any - allows use of /f admin on any player in any faction
factions mod.any - allows use of /f mod on any player in any faction
factions.join.any - allows player to join any faction, bypassing invitation process for closed factions (the same as players with /f bypass enabled can do)
