Overview
Clarifies what the Viewer role can and cannot do in the web editor.

Updates the roles permissions table to explicitly call out commenting/suggestions, media upload, and publishing permissions, and adds a new Viewer access in the web editor section explaining viewers are forced into suggesting mode.

Also updates deployment permissions and the suggestions docs to cross-link this behavior and state that viewers cannot switch to direct editing.
