Duplicate Option to skip importing permissions

[Jake B.]

Having the option to skip importing permission values for nodes and usergroups would be extremely helpful as currently importing from a software like vBulletin will result in a lot of permissions being extremely convoluted. Additionally, with this option having the ability to keep all imported users with the "registered" primary group, and adding their primary group in vBulletin / whatever software to the secondary groups would make post-migration clean up much easier. I feel like on a typical migration we spend more time cleaning up permissions to correctly inherit than we would if we just setup all the permissions from scratch
