Missing API to edit database permissions

[BananaAcid]

Nano does not have any functionality to add permissions (users/roles) to a database. Always needed after DB creation.

expected - an API like:

nano.db.security([callback]) -- getting the security info
nano.db.secure(permObj, [callback]) -- setting security object

reason:
Creating a user and manually its database (to know when it is ready to create multiple documents inside), there is no owning user set.
db.create(name, callback) has no option to set user security.
Other basic functions also have a wrapper (like .get()).
Would help with making it easy to use couchDB without having to read and abstract the couchdb-docu-curl calls to a nano.request.

workaround - call manually:

// retrive
let perms = await nano.request({db: targetedDb, method: 'get', path: '/_security');

// save
await nano.request({db: targetedDb, method: 'put', path: '/_security', body:
	{
		admins:  { names: [newuser_email, 'Administrator'], roles: ["admins"] },
		members: { names: [newuser_email], roles: [] },
	}
});
