util.roles: Return nil if the role has no explicit policy (fixes inheritance) Previously, if the first inherited role had no opinion, it returned false and prevented further consultation of other inherited roles. This bug was found thanks to the implementation of missing test cases identified through mutation testing.

This file documents the structure of the roster object.

table roster {
  [string bare_jid] = roster_item
}

table roster_item {
  string subscription = "none" | "to" | "from" | "both"
  string name = Opaque string set by client. (optional)
  set groups = a set of opaque strings set by the client
  boolean ask = nil | "subscribe" - a value of true indicates subscription is pending
}

The roster is available as
 hosts[host].sessions[username].roster
and a copy is made to session.roster for all sessions.

All modifications to a roster should be done through the rostermanager.
