Subject: Major spankage.  Added a new state, UNCONFIRMED.  Added new groups,
 "editbugs" and "canconfirm".  People without these states are now much more
 limited in what they can do.

For backwards compatability, by default all users will have the
editbugs and canconfirm bits on them.  Installing this changes as is
should only have one major visible effect -- an UNCONFIRMED state
will appear in the query page.  But no bugs will become in that state,
until you tweak some of the new voting-related parameters you'll find
when editing products.
