Juliana Oliveira 711ed76c82 auth: standard_role_manager: read null columns as false
When a role is created through the `create role` statement, the
'is_superuser' and 'can_login' columns are set to false by default.
Likewise, `list roles`, `alter roles` and `* roles` operations
expect to find a boolean when reading the same columns.

This is not the case, though, when a user directly inserts to
`system_auth.roles` and doesn't set those columns. Even though
manually creating roles is not a desired day-to-day operation,
it is an insert just like any other and it should work.

`* roles` operations, on the other hand, are not prepared for
this deviations. If a user manually creates a role and doesn't
set boolean values to those columns, `* roles` will return all
sorts of errors. This happens because `* roles` is explicitly
expecting a boolean and casting for it.

This patch makes `* roles` more friendly by considering the
boolean variable `false` - inside `* roles` context - if the
actual value is `null`; it won't change the `null` value.

Fixes #4280
