Improve Header Info

Description

On some places is the output of the "Header Info". This is a string that contains info about user, client, org, server, database, etc. One obvious place the Info Header is seen is is the title of the Swing Client Main window. Another is in the footer of report printouts.

I would like to see in it the role the User choosed at login. While looking into the code I realized that the header is used in some other circumstances too. In the window title I like much information, in the printout footer it annoys me. After thinking about it I became aware that different users in different installations have different needs for the Header Info string.

All these output should be made better configurable. Perhaps a SysConfig entry using Context Variables can help.

I am not sure if we need different strings for different circumstances.

I think this was mostly implemented with ticket sysconfig ZK_FOOTER_SERVER_MSG

I like the idea of SysConfig

This patch is just a small hack to insert the Role Name in the Header Info. It may be that a better approach is to make it configurable.

WDYT?
