Add user roles

[V1TA5]

Add user roles. Especialy to admin functions. (so we can have dedicated game admins or version admins). A potential Admin panel should only show the appropiate functions and have the possibillity to add/change roles to users/groups.

When we separated the frontend from the backend, we added a permission system and it was easy to grant separate permissions to specified users.

Depending on what we choose for SpaceDock, we can achieve that with Django, but that would mean an entire rewrite of the backend using Django.

no rewrites. 

If its possible to implement this in the current code without to much hassle its something we should do if not leave it.

With flask we could use flask-user or flask-security. The former seems to be better documented and maintained, but I used both without issues. They both use flask-login under the hood, so it should be straightforward to port to them.
