Description
Right now user_list only gives us basic user info, so to show users with their groups and roles in the console we have to call group_list and policy_view separately and do the mapping on the client side. Would be much cleaner if it just included a field with the groups and role info with the source (whether it's direct or inherited from a group).
Would cut down on API calls, eliminate the mapping logic we're doing in the console and make the CLI more functional

Research direction
Start by tracing the user_list endpoint and comparing its existing response with group_list and policy_view. Determine how the response should represent groups, roles, and whether each assignment is direct or inherited. Done means the endpoint provides this information so clients no longer need the separate calls and mapping.
