Declare a role on a system

PUT
/systems/{name}/roles/{role}
curl --request PUT \
--url https://example.com/api/v1/systems/example/roles/example \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "capabilities": [ "example" ], "display_name": "example", "impact": "outage", "quorum": 1 }'

Declares a role directly on this system (how a one-off system gets roles at all, and how a conforming one adds what its standard does not cover), or revises it in place. The capability list replaces the required set wholesale. Gated by system:update; an out-of-scope system is a non-disclosing 404.
