The war on clicks

Many actions in the interface take way too many clicks to access. There's a number of things we can do to reduce clicks:

1. Bug 44174: Remove "are you sure" steps from places it isn't necessary
2. Bug 44175: Combine role and project membership into a single interface
3. Bugs 44176, 44177: Add an API and make a combined javascript interface
4. Bugs 45455, 45456: Have shell requests marked as uncompleted or completed by checking if the user is in the shell group and if they are blocked.
