Unified SQL table for role assignments

Registered by Dolph Mathews

As discussed at the Icehouse summit [1], we desperately need to merge the various role assignment tables into a single table that can be queried more efficiently for the data we actually need, such as... roles!

Roles are currently persisted as JSON in a metadata column, and assignments are spread across 4 different tables (user-project, group-project, user-domain, group-domain). These four tables should be migrated to one unified table described here [2].
