Join Project form needs design work

The Join project form asks:

• "Generate Project URL alias" with a checkbox and edit box. - Those should be hidden, for sure, as it won't make any sense to anyone and is unnecessary.
• "Create a project role", which would be useful if it gave any indication as to what a role was.

In redesigning this page, lets give the user an indication that they have successfully joined the project, and tell them what a project role is. We could use copy like this:

"You have successfully joined [projectname]. What role will you play in this project (analyst, developer, enthusiast, etc)? This role will be displayed next to your profile on the project team page."

The "Generate Project URL alias" step only appears for the administrator role, so that makes it less of a problem.
