Friendlier error message when a logged-in user tries to load an inaccessible entry

Title:
Friendlier error message when a logged-in user tries to load an inaccessible entry

Area:
entries, security

Summary:
Give the user the option to log in as a different user, rather than just sending a 403 Forbidden, when they try to load an inaccessible entry while logged in.

Description:
Suppose I'm logged in as "foo" and I follow a link to a post in "bar"'s journal, where my other account "quux" has access to "bar", but "foo" doesn't. I get a 403 Forbidden page. If I follow a link to the same post while not logged in, I get a page inviting me to log in. A page giving me the opportunity to log in as a different user if I'm already logged in and I try to load a post I can't see would improve usability.
