The main goal of this PR is to add documentation for the Read-Only Security Admin role (MB-67164). It also cleans up references to Local/External User Security Admin roles from past changes.

Primary changes, with link to preview:

Fixes to roles references are mainly in the REST API docs. It's probably easiest to just view the diff for these. In most cases, the allowed roles were verified using a script that brute force calls the REST API endpoint with a user with a single role assigned to them. In particular, this dramatically increased the list of roles that can access the identify orchestrator REST API endpoint.

* Edited Read-Only Admin role to reflect changes to priviliges.
* Changed several role names to match the names in reported by Couchbase (i.e. Query Manage Sequences -> Manage Sequences).
* Cleanup of lingering references to Local and External User Admin roles.
* In several cases, updated the roles requirements for REST API calls. These were mainly determined by using a script that calls he endpoints with every possible role.
