Description:
On the docs page https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/grant-tables.html the table oveview "Table 7.3 user and db Table Columns" does not list new columns introduced 'Create_role_priv' and 'Drop_role_priv'.

How to repeat:
Compare the page with any of 

SHOW COLUMNS FROM mysql.user;
SELECT * FROM mysql.user;

(BTW: here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/privileges-provided.html the related privileges are listed correctly.)

Suggested fix:
Update the page at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/grant-tables.html
