Service Access Control
This is a list of service-name strings which the title has access to, with the following structure: +0 control_byte, +1 = {service-name without nul-terminator}. Bitmask 0xF in control_byte is the length of the service-name. Bitmask 0x80 is set for services which the title can register, while it's clear for services used with Services_API#GetService.
