Failing to purge if the purge right is not there doesn't seem right as purge right doesn't actually prevent from purging the cache - it only asks for a confirmation when the user doesn't have this right.

From https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Math/blob/master/SpecialMathStatus.php#L29-L30
// The effect of loading this page is comparable to purge a page. // If desired a dedicated right e.g. "viewmathstatus" could be used instead.
That seems the right thing to do here.

@Glaisher: I think this is not super hard to implement. I just did not know how to initialize the new right with a reasonable default.
I will do the code review if a patch will be submitted;-)
