/**
 * Set access to a resource for the public.
 *
 * This function works with Solid Pods that implement either the Web Access
 * Control spec or the Access Control Policies proposal, with some caveats:
 *
 * - If access to the given Resource has been set using anything other than the
 *   functions in this module, it is possible that it has been set in a way that
 *   prevents this function from reliably setting access.
 * - It will only set access explicitly for the given Agent. In other words,
 *   additional restrictions could be present that further restrict or loosen
 *   what access the given Agent has in particular circumstances.
 * - The provided access will only apply to the given Resource. In other words,
 *   if the Resource is a Container, the configured Access will not apply to
 *   contained Resources.
 * - If the current user does not have permission to view or change access for
 *   the given Resource, this function will resolve to `null`.
 *
 * Additionally, two caveats apply to users with a Pod server that uses WAC:
 * - If the Resource did not have an ACL yet, a new one will be initialised.
 *   This means that changes to the ACL of a parent Container can no longer
 *   affect access people have to this Resource, although existing access will
 *   be preserved.
 * - Setting different values for `controlRead` and `controlWrite` is not
 *   supported, and **will throw an error**. If you expect (some of) your users
 *   to have Pods implementing WAC, be sure to pass the same value for both.
 *
 * @param resourceUrl URL of the Resource you want to set access for.
 * @param access The Access Modes to add (true) or remove (false).
 * @param options Default Options such as a fetch function.
 * @since 1.19.0
