Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add default roles and a default user with the instructor
 role on startup

Enhanced ASP.NET Identity configuration to include role support
by adding `.AddRoles<IdentityRole>()` in `Program.cs`. Introduced
a `SeedData` class to seed predefined roles ("Instructor" and
"Student") and a default instructor user during application
startup in the development environment.
