roles phase 3: dev tools are a row, not a hardcoded name

rolePermitsDevTools() was `role === 'Developer'` — one line gating two real
grants, a Postgres login role with CREATEDB and a rootless Docker daemon. A role
the owner created at runtime could never have either, which defeats the point of
roles being data.

Two boolean columns on `roles` now carry it, and roleDevGrants() reads the row.
A role that no longer exists reads as neither grant, matching "absence denies"
everywhere else.

NOT the `provisioningScript` D8 asked for, and that column is removed rather
than left dead. A shell script stored on a role row and run at provisioning time
is arbitrary root-level code in a database column, and D8's own warning says why
that is worse than it looks: `usermod -aG docker` is root by a longer route. So
the row CHOOSES from a vocabulary the platform already knows how to carry out —
the same shape as `multiarch` on a plugin's osDependencies, for the same reason.

The seed re-asserts both flags on every run for system roles, and only for them.
Without that, existing rows take the column default of false the moment it lands
and Developer silently loses its tools on the next deploy — every host already
has these four rows, so an insert-only seed would have shipped that. `description`
stays insert-only, because an edit made on one server must survive a deploy.

`db:push` could not apply this and said nothing. Dropping a column while adding
another makes drizzle-kit ask whether it is a rename; with no terminal it bails
and the wrapper still exits 0, leaving the seed to fail against an unchanged
schema. Recorded in src/databases/CLAUDE.md with the SQL, because it will hit
every host on the next deploy and no agent driving a rollout has a terminal.

Verified here: SQL applied guarded, Developer keeps both grants and no other role
gained any, second push emits zero DDL and no prompt, 1423 pass / 0 fail.

/api/roles — role CRUD (phase 2 part 3 of docs/roles-and-teams.md), plus grants (phase 3).
This is the roles TABLE — a name, a description, the `isSystem` flag. It is not the GRANTS a role
holds; that stays `role_permissions`, administered at `/api/users/permissions` by
`permissionAdminRouter`. The two are separate screens for a reason: this router answers "which roles
exist", that one answers "what may each reach" — and deleting a role here has to know the second
question's table too, because the guard below is "does anyone hold it", not "what does it grant".
This is the roles TABLE — a name, a description, the `isSystem` flag, and since phase 3 the two
