Lists the projects accessible by the caller. This is the same as
using the link:cmd-ls-projects.html[ls-projects] command over SSH,

As result a map is returned that maps the project names to
link:#project-info[ProjectInfo] entries. The entries in the map are sorted
by project name.

=== Add, Update and Delete Access Rights for Project
--
'POST /projects/link:rest-api-projects.html#project-name[\{project-name\}]/access'
--

Sets access rights for the project using the diff schema provided by
link:#project-access-input[ProjectAccessInput]. Deductions are used to
remove access sections, permissions or permission rules. The backend will remove
the entity with the finest granularity in the request, meaning that if an
access section without permissions is posted, the access section will be
removed; if an access section with a permission but no permission rules is
posted, the permission will be removed; if an access section with a permission
and a permission rule is posted, the permission rule will be removed.

Additionally, access sections and permissions will be cleaned up after applying
the deductions by removing items that have no child elements.

After removals have been applied, additions will be applied.

As result a link:#project-access-info[ProjectAccessInfo] entity is returned.
