Public bug reported:

The issue is the view access form when deciding to slow the 'public'
option checks to see if the website has 'allowpublicviews' on (site
setting) and that the person who is editing access is in an institution
that allows public views.

Normally the site admin is in 'No institution' and so that is seen as
allowed by default when 'allowpublicviews' is true.

But if the site admin is in an institution then that institutions
settings come into play. And if that institution doesn't allow it then
the site admin can't share a page to public even if that page is a not
in the institution, like a site page.

So we need an extra rule for site admins who exist in an institution
that doesn't allow public access. This rule should allow them to still
be able to make site/institution pages public.
