Verify User licenses by User field or email address instead of by Role Permissions

Problem/Motivation

DXPR module verifies user licenses by counting how many drupal users have DXPR Permissions, however, that method overestimates the real number of user licenses needed because permissions are assigned per role and Admin roles cannot relinquish Permissions.

If a site only needs a single DXPR license but has more than 1 Admin on the site there is no way to tell DXPR which users need licenses because permissions cannot be unassigned from Admins.

The current workaround then is to create pseudo-Admin roles without the DXPR permissions but every other permission held previously for the sake of isolating the one Admin user the DXPR license verification is looking for.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Change the way DXPR verifies user licenses by looking for a User field instead of via the Permissions.
