Previously, we had a bug that could lead to descriptors having privileages to roles that no longer exist. This could lead to certain commands like SHOW GRANTS breaking. To address this, this patch will add descirptor repair logic to automatically clean up oprhaned privileges.
Fixes: #122552
Release note (bug fix): Add automated clean up / validation for dropped roles inside descriptors.
Release justification: low risk repair operation that can resolve descriptor corruption and reduce support burden
