chore: rename authorization to role assignment (#11588)

Browse Source 
# Which Problems Are Solved

As part of the naming consistency initiative, the terms Authorization,
User grants, internal authorization and other similar terms that are
used in the context of assigning project roles to users are replaced by
Role Assignments in the UI, API docs, and documentation.

# How the Problems Are Solved

By replacing the following terms with Role Assignments in API docs,
Console UI, and guides.

- Authorization
- internal authorization
- external authorization
- User Grant
- Roles and Authorizations

By adding a note in the API docs to make it clear that Authorization
within the context of Authorization Service API refers to role
assignments, not to OAuth authorization as it is still used in the APIs.

By updating some screenshots in documentation / guides to show "Role
Assignments" instead of "Authorizations" in the UI.
