mod_http_oauth2: Add role selector to consent page
List includes all roles available to the user, if more than one.
Defaults to either the first role in the scope string or the users
primary role.
Earlier draft listed all roles, but having options that can't be
selected is bad UX and the entire list of all roles on the server could
be long, and perhaps even sensitive.
Allows e.g. picking a role with fewer permissions than what might
otherwise have been selected.
UX wise, doing this with more checkboxes or possibly radio buttons would
have been confusion and/or looked messier.
Fixes the previous situation where unselecting a role would default to
the primary role, which could be more permissions than requested.
