This PR replace superuser role of an API key with the new limited superuser role to prevent write access to system indices. The replacement should only happen to the builtin superuser role. If there is a user-created role that has the exact same definition as the superuser role, it will not be replaced because we consider users are explicitly opt-in for ALL access in this scenario.
