PatR ffcd471ef7 fix github issue #309 - random role segfault
Role selection is insanely complex.  I had to use a debugger to force
the relevant routine to be executed.

The analysis was correct:  it could use rn2(14) to pick a role (valid
values 0 through 12) and randomly getting 13 would lead to a crash.

The terminating element of roles[] passes all the ok_role(), ok_race(),
etc tests.  Explicitly exclude that element when collecting the roles
to choose from.
