Roles are named and can express the same bundle of permissions that can currently be assigned to a Token (lists of Policies and Service Identities). The difference with a Role is that it not itself a bearer token, but just another entity that can be tied to a Token. This lets an operator potentially curate a set of smaller reusable Policies and compose them together into reusable Roles, rather than always exploding that same list of Policies on any Token that needs similar permissions. This also refactors the acl replication code to be semi-generic to avoid 3x copypasta.
