 Currently, the only way to check if a user role exists in the database is
 to use `get_role()` and check if the result is `null` or not. While that
 isn't too complicated to do, I think it would be useful to have a simple
 wrapper function that performs this check so that developers can easily
 check for a role before manipulating it (adding capabilities, etc.).
