Comment (by tellyworth):

 I took a quick stab at a different approach to handling role-capabilitites
 in #5541.  Roles aren't stored in the database at all, just in memory,
 with an action that can be used to define new roles and a filter for
 changing the capabilities of existing ones.

 It works with or without the user_role patch, and passes all the relevant
 unit tests.

 It would work well with the multiple-roles approach to deprecating user-
 caps that I outlined above.
