Backport #47448 to branch/v15

changelog: fixed a bug that could allow users to list active sessions even when prohibited by RBAC.

This code never worked correctly, but mostly went unnoticed because
it is only triggered when using legacy roles prior to RoleV5.

Prior to moderated sessions, RBAC for viewing active sessions was
based on whether or not you could join a session as the OS login
that is being used, along with a pseudo-resource of kind "ssh_session".

With moderated sessions we introduced more flexible RBAC semantics
that allow you to join sessions in different modes (peer, observer,
moderator), even if you don't actually have permission to start
sessions.

In #11223 we decided that we need to support both types of RBAC checks
(legacy checks against the "ssh_session" resource, and newer checks
against the session_tracker and join_sessions policies). The code that
was doing the legacy checks was flawed for two reasons:

1. It used (types.SessionTracker).GetKind() (which will always be
   "session_tracker") instead of
   (types.SessionTracker).GetSessionKind().
2. When checking whether the session was SSH, it was checking for
   the legacy "ssh_session" value, instead of the "ssh" value that
   session trackers actually use.
