Roles for JIDs outside the current host are derived from configuration
only with this module.

Passing something from module:get_option() to ipairs() suggests that the
option is a list of some sort.

This gives us more granular control over different types of user account.
Accounts registered by IBR get assigned prosody:registered by default, while
accounts provisioned by an admin (e.g. via prosodyctl shell) will receive
prosody:member by default.

Made it reject the primary role since it compares against a non-existent
field, i.e. nil.

Some of the OAuth stuff highlights a small need to retrieve a list of
roles somehow. Handy if you ever need a role selector in adhoc or
something.
Unless there's some O(n) thing we were avoiding?

'host_user_role' is the default role of users who have JIDs on the "parent"
host (i.e. jabber.org users on conference.jabber.org). Defaults to
'prosody:user'.
'server_user_roles' is the default role of users who have JIDs on any active
host on the current Prosody instance. Default to nil (no role).
This finally allows better permissions splitting between host and server
users, which has previously been done (e.g. in MUC) with options like
'restrict_room_creation' and 'muc_room_allow_persistent'. Using roles makes
these permissions a lot more flexible, and easier for developers to integrate.

These changes to the API (hopefully the last) introduce a cleaner separation
between the user's primary (default) role, and their secondary (optional)
roles.
To keep the code sane and reduce complexity, a data migration is needed for
people using stored roles in 0.12. This can be performed with
prosodyctl mod_authz_internal migrate <host>

This commit was too awkward to split (hg record didn't like it), so:
- Switch to the new util.roles lib to provide a consistent representation of
a role object.
- Change API method from get_role_info() to get_role_by_name() (touches
sessionmanager and usermanager)
- Change get_roles() to get_user_roles(), take a username instead of a JID
This is more consistent with all other usermanager API methods.
- Support configuration of custom roles and permissions via the config file
(to be documented).

We began moving away from simple "is this user an admin?" permission checks
before 0.12, with the introduction of mod_authz_internal and the ability to
dynamically change the roles of individual users.
The approach in 0.12 still had various limitations however, and apart from
the introduction of roles other than "admin" and the ability to pull that info
from storage, not much actually changed.
This new framework shakes things up a lot, though aims to maintain the same
functionality and behaviour on the surface for a default Prosody
configuration. That is, if you don't take advantage of any of the new
features, you shouldn't notice any change.
The biggest change visible to developers is that usermanager.is_admin() (and
the auth provider is_admin() method) have been removed. Gone. Completely.
Permission checks should now be performed using a new module API method:
module:may(action_name, context)
This method accepts an action name, followed by either a JID (string) or
(preferably) a table containing 'origin'/'session' and 'stanza' fields (e.g.
the standard object passed to most events). It will return true if the action
should be permitted, or false/nil otherwise.
Modules should no longer perform permission checks based on the role name.
E.g. a lot of code previously checked if the user's role was prosody:admin
before permitting some action. Since many roles might now exist with similar
permissions, and the permissions of prosody:admin may be redefined
dynamically, it is no longer suitable to use this method for permission
checks. Use module:may().
If you start an action name with ':' (recommended) then the current module's
name will automatically be used as a prefix.
To define a new permission, use the new module API:
module:default_permission(role_name, action_name)
module:default_permissions(role_name, { action_name[, action_name...] })
This grants the specified role permission to execute the named action(s) by
default. This may be overridden via other mechanisms external to your module.
The built-in roles that developers should use are:
- prosody:user (normal user)
- prosody:admin (host admin)
- prosody:operator (global admin)
The new prosody:operator role is intended for server-wide actions (such as
shutting down Prosody).
Finally, all usage of is_admin() in modules has been fixed by this commit.
Some of these changes were trickier than others, but no change is expected to
break existing deployments.
EXCEPT: mod_auth_ldap no longer supports the ldap_admin_filter option. It's
very possible nobody is using this, but if someone is then we can later update
it to pull roles from LDAP somehow.

module. Fixes #517 (ish).
Note: Removes the ability for mod_auth_* providers to determine user admin status. Such
modules will need to have their is_admin methods ported to be a mod_authz_* provider.
