[keycloak-user] Add additional rights mapping step to request chain

[Stian Thorgersen]

Have a look at:

* org.keycloak.adapters.as7.CatalinaRequestAuthenticator#getRolesFromToken

This is where the roles from the token is retrieved and you should be able to modify this to add the additional roles you require.

An alternative, and I would say a preferred approach, would be to add these roles on the Keycloak server side rather than in the adapter. This should be feasible in the future in one of two ways:

* Users SPI - we're currently splitting the model into config, users and sessions. Users will contain users, credentials and role mappings. As this will be an SPI you'll be able to extend this to add any additional role mappings here.
* Sync SPI - this will be post-1.0.final so won't be ready until September/October. This will allow syncing users, credentials and role mappings to/from an external data source in the Keycloak database.
