There are some places in the codebase that we hardcode isDefault. Here, we'll want to introduce the specialRole field alongside, so when we deprecate isDefault, no additional changes will be needed. Some are important (like one instance in thread-utils.js and the instance in role-creator.js where we set up initial roles for threads), and others are just test data. Nonetheless, I thought I may as well update all of them for consistency.
