Allow addition of a bot from the admin console? Requires account sync to be admin-focused.

I the cleanest approach is:

Retarget the existing permission to mean "can create (non-bot) users".
If a user is an administrator but does not have "create users permission", replace the "Create User" button with a "Create Bot" button that jumps straight to the bot workflow.

Alternatively, we could add a second "Can Create Bot Users" permission. Not sure which approach feels cleaner.
