[Catalyst] Changing Formhandler field-type/widget based on Catalyst user-role

[will trillich]

Hmm. Still puzzled as to what solution might work with that approach. Maybe
changing-field-type is philosophically questionable, but the mechanism
still looks like it should work. :) But didn't.

So we're off to try more FormHandler magic from a different angle (not
catalyst-affected, so we're posting on the formhandler list for that).
