Interface for access result value objects.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You have to call isAllowed() when you want to know whether someone has access. Just using

if ($access_result) {
    // The user has access!
}
else {
    // The user doesn't have access!
}

would never enter the else-statement and hence introduce a critical security issue.
