University of Hawaii role translator from CAS to Jasper reports plugin

These roles are then made avaible in Jasper reports authorization databse. The persisting part into Jasper reports authorization databse is performed by core Jasper reports engine components downstream from this GrantedAuthorityFromAssertionAttributesUserDetailsService custom implementation.
