Build Identifier: Bugzilla-2.22

Our company uses Bugzilla heavily for its bug tracking system in our products, and we needed a way for one persion to get a copy of all the bugs that belong under a certain product, different than the QA contact (which may be below the product level, like in a component, or above the product level).  The attached patch adds a "Product Supervisor" role to Bugzilla, and the product supervisor can be set while adding or editing a product.

Reproducible: Always

Although this is definitely a useful patch, it's not a feature we'd ever actually add directly to upstream Bugzilla. Instead we want to add the feature to define any number of roles for a bug, and let the user create the roles they need.
