Bug #5646 - make_domain_coordinator.pl generates wrong ownership of director

Set www as owner of nohist_domainprefs.pm, in case it had to be created when adding a user from the command line.

Bug 5544
- add user to MySQL allusers table
- add information about role to nohist_domainroles.db
- include start time in role

- more that alpha numeric now allowed

Explicitly create group and home directory for the new user, and add www to the group. Although fedora/red hat do this automatically SuSE/SLES does not.  Without this, problems can occur if an author role is later added for a DC account created with this script.

- making use of the new common subroutine library

best wishes to all.

recommending that an institution-specific domain coordinator name
be chosen (like dcmsu) as opposed to a person-specific name (like
BillyBob)

BUG 853 FIXED; when trying to transform an existing user into a domain
coordinator, a manual procedure is recommended (given the architectural
and security importance of a domain coordinator, I only want to generate
it automatically if the operating system conditions are perfectly known;
this is also an initial step in installing a LON-CAPA system at an institution;
therefore it must work 100% perfectly for both public-relations reasons
and to avoid compounding potential errors); documentation improvements and
a little beautification; warning and error messages are improved

loncapa.conf, not access.conf

typo fix

adding in password prompt; BUG 514; FIX

fixing documentation

fix commenting

tested; also gives manual procedure with perldoc make_domain_coordinator.pl;
also removes author-specific steps (e.g. ~/public_html, g+rwxs, etc)
