[Backend] User Authentication, User Roles

[suyashkumar]

Overview

To support trusted CSV data uploads from the Philippines ADPL installations, we must implement User Authentication and User Roles (Admin, Uploader, etc).

@aforbis-stokes What do you think a good set of initial user roles should be? Here are a couple I think make sense:

• Admin: Able to do everything, including adding new users.
• Uploader: Able to add new trusted data to the web server (upload CSVs)
• Maintainer (future): Able to update/modify runtime variables on target ADPL devices.

Implementation

We'll be using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) to authenticate API requests.

Thanks @suyashkumar. This set is what I had in mind.
