 Role/Capability: Add a new `update_role` function.

 Until now, changing a user's role involved deleting a user's role then re-
 adding.  This change creates a new `update_role` function and associated
 method in `WP_Roles` to consolidate this process.

 This commit also introduces new unit tests around `update_role` and adds
 additional "unhappy path" tests for roles and capabilities in general.

 Props maksimkuzmin, peterwilsoncc, NomNom99, costdev, SergeyBiryukov.
 Fixes #54572.
