[webcommittee][SC56][Move/Copy] Fix failed ServerAdmin unit tests under Linux

[Auke Jilderda]

Hi Jason,

the guest account is a system account that is created upon instantiating
the site.  Its 'reason d'etre' is to be able to define the level of
access for anonymous users.

Somebody, (Daniel or somebody else but it is probably not important who
did it) created the 'webcommittee.guest for issue tracker' role and
granted it to the guest user.  This role is redundant with the Observer
role so I suggest we do the following:
 1 Revoke the role from Guest and Domain Users
 2 Delete the 'webcommittee.guest for issue tracker' role
 3 Either or:
   a Grant Domain Users the Observer role.  As I mentioned this will
     require somebody to log in before being able to submit an issue.
   b Grant Domain Users as well as Guest the Observer role *and* add a
     field to the issue tracker artifact type to fill in some contact
     details.

Personally, I would prefer insisting on people to log in before
submitting an issue.  If logging in is already too high a threshold, I'm
not sure how valuable the feedback will be.  That said, we can do it
however you want.  Just let me know how you'd like it to work and I'll
set it up properly.  It's a tiny effort to reconfigure but I just need
to know which of the two approaches we prefer.
