#43821 new enhancement

Add UX in the Network Admin for setting a network-wide privacy policy

Description

Some multisite instances will need to set one privacy policy for the entire network, with controls on whether or not individual sites can modify/replace it. Other multisite instances may choose to leave the privacy policy entirely to individual sites.

The UI for setting a network-wide policy should probably be similar to #43435, so snippets from plugins can be included.

Relevant feedback from @flixos90 on #43935

I like the capabilities approach, however I think we shouldn’t assume that a network works that way that it has a single privacy policy. I‘d prefer if we introduced an extra setting toggle in the network admin like “Restrict privacy policy management to network administrators?”. Only if that is checked, the capability should be restricted from regular administrators. We could even add a “Use a network-wide privacy policy?” toggle and if that is set, provide a UI in the network admin and then override what’s set per single site, like several other network settings work. The current solution is fine though as first step though, especially since Beta is tomorrow.

The solution will need to take into account mu-plugins / plugins that are used on all the sites vs plugins that are installed on individual sites.
