 `edit_user()` can also update user roles but is still using the
 `edit_users` capability instead of the newer `promote_users` capability
 introduced in [14176].

 We have a similar role handling in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.8.3/src/wp-
 admin/users.php?marks=96-97,121-128#L93 and should copy that to
 `edit_user()` for consistency.

 * Change `edit_users` to `promote_users`
 * Change `manage_site` to `manage_network_users`
