Forums feed permissions are too restrictive

Description

In the following forums feeds, the logic for permissions is not in line with that of the UI:
/direct/forums/site/SITEID
/direct/forum/site/SITEID/forum/FORUMID

In these feeds, forums and/or topics are only returned if at least one of the following is true:
1) the current user is a "super" user OR
2) the forum is not draft and is currently available OR
3) the forum was created by the current user

With this logic, site instructors who did not create the forum are not able to access forums with restricted availability via the feed, even though the forum is available to them via the UI. The logic needs to be revised to be in line with the logic used in the UI.

I have attached a patch.
