Connect to strongloop-internal/scrum-apex#155

I create a new branch use-datasource-cloudant to demo access control(Role and User) with relevant models attached to cloudant datasource.

There are some syntax changes in this PR because master is still using an old version of loopback. The three main changes are:

• server/datasources.json
  • Add cloudant datasource
• server/model-config.json
  • Attach relevant models to cloudant.
• server/boot/role-resolver.js
  • automigrate models attached to cloudant datasource
  • Switch to async boot script, since other scripts need to wait until automigrating models to cloudant datasource done.

And udpated the doc as well.

@jannyHou Are the CI failures well taken note of for why is it failing?

[jannyHou]

@ssh24 sorry I missed your question: CI fails because I use a fake url in example and loopback-connector-cloudant@2.x is not released.
