add_role and remove_role on a Class PMC

[Andrew Whitworth]

By my understanding, the current implementation of roles has either
never worked or never really been tested. This would be a major reason
why such sanity checks on the system fail.

The big question in my mind is whether we want to try to fix and test
this system as-is, or wait for our new MOP implementation (which, I
assume, will support roles out of the box).
