Description

We should add the possibility to specify permissions to see the menu links, I think this only works for model links now.
We may allow only superusers to see the system info or we may create a specific permission.

Let's add the license of OpenWISP in the system info page.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the system info page and the code that builds its menu links, then trace how permissions are applied to model links. Done means menu visibility follows the chosen permission rule and the OpenWISP license appears on the system info page.
