- Roles are objects and everything done to or with a role is a method on it:
assign, unassign, has_player, has_permission, is_higher_than,
is_lower_than, get_players, get_player_names, print. Assignment has one
entry point, role:assign(player, options), with local_only as an option
rather than a second function.
- Roles are looked up by clusterio id with get_role; get_role_by_name searches
the list for the few places, such as configs, which only know a name. The
name map and the ordered list are gone, get_roles sorts on demand and the
index field is replaced by the comparison methods.
- Players are LuaPlayer objects only, with nil or index 0 for the server.
- get_higher_roles and get_lower_roles replace print_to_roles_higher and
print_to_roles_lower, call sites loop over them with role:print.
- Permission groups are removed from roles again, exp_groups owns the mapping
from roles to groups.
- Seeding is a SeedRolesRequest behind a button on the roles page rather than
running on first start, and creates only the roles; the player assignments
are dropped. The seed lists each permission once at the lowest role which
has it and lets the parent chain carry it up.
- System commands unlock for core.admin rather than a permission of their own.
- Role metatables are registered with Storage.register_metatable so the
methods survive save and load, which the role records in storage needed.
- The player list auth uses Roles.player_outranks directly, and the event
carries role ids rather than names.

Every call site of expcore.roles now uses exp_roles, and the legacy module,
its config, and the glue which refreshed guis on role events are deleted.
Where a file only renamed the require and the permission strings the change is
mechanical; the rest:
- Jail is now "give the Jail role" and unjail "take it away". The role has a
higher priority than every other so holding it suppresses them, which is
what stashing and restoring the roles was for.
- The command role authority derives exp_scenario.command.<name> from the
command name, and the role parsers use player_outranks rather than comparing
indexes with their own root check.
- The admin and spectator triggers, and the gui refresh on role changes, live
in exp_scenario/control/roles.lua; the system commands trigger stays with
the command authority.
- The player list warn button is keyed on create_warning, the permission
the command behind it already required, and report on create_report. Both
were keyed on names no role held, so only root ever saw them.
- The warps and tasks configs say exp_roles where they said expcore.roles.
- The role tables the readme and player list read are replaced by
get_player_names and get_roles.
