Added state property to role model. This can be used when for instance a member has been removed from a club or a when a program has been marked inactive. Certain roles would then be shown on the upcoming roles page marked as previous roles. This would give us the archiving capability that was shown in the mockup.

    Middleware that sets REMOTE_ADDR based on HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, if the
    latter is set. This is useful if you're sitting behind a reverse proxy that
    causes each request's REMOTE_ADDR to be set to 127.0.0.1.

    Note that this does NOT validate HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If you're not behind
    a reverse proxy that sets HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR automatically, do not use
    this middleware. Anybody can spoof the value of HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, and
    because this sets REMOTE_ADDR based on HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, that means
    anybody can "fake" their IP address. Only use this when you can absolutely
    trust the value of HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.
