Create default roles

This creates an initial set of default roles which administrators may
use to grant access to, historically, superuser-only functions. Using
these roles instead of granting superuser access reduces the number of
superuser roles required for a system. Documention for each of the
default roles has been added to user-manag.sgml.

Bump catversion to 201604082, as we had a commit that bumped it to
201604081 and another that set it back to 201604071...
