Unable to search for global permissions using /rest/api/2/user/permission/search.

As has been said in ~~JRA-43075~~ , this endpoint is important to Atlassian Connect vendors who want to do things like check the permissions of a given user

The documentation for the rest/api/2/user/permission/search endpoint links to this list of all possible permissions, which includes global permissions like ADMINISTER.

Run the REST calls against /rest/api/2/user/permission/search

http://localhost:7021/jira702/rest/api/2/user/permission/search?permissions=SYSTEM_ADMIN

http://localhost:7021/jira702/rest/api/2/user/permission/search?permissions=SYSTEM_ADMIN&projectKey=<validPkey>

Returns users who have this global permission

First call returns the following
```
{"errorMessages":["No project or issue key was provided"],"errors":{}}
```
- A project or issue key is required to be provided which doesn't make sense in a global permission context

Second call returns the following

{"errorMessages":["Internal server error"],"errors":{}}

Other known results of the second command

An empty list that should have users in it: []
- observed on a local instance
An internal server error report: {"errorMessages": [ "Internal server error" ] ,"errors":} (associated error in logs: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No permission for id : 0 in system)
- seen at https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user/permission/search?permissions=ADMINISTER&projectKey=AC
An empty error report {"errorMessages":[],"errors":}
- seen on jdog

No known workaround
