Moderation Settings Flaw

The discord moderation options have a glaring flaw in them. Granting any role to any member allows the member to bypass the verification level required. This becomes a major flaw when a common feature for bots is automatic role assignment.

There are two changes that could solve this issue.

Preferably, replace the current system with an option to specific roles: "Allow this role to bypass verification requirements"
Alternatively, add a member.verificationLevel similar to the guild's MFA level for the API to allow bots to check this status before giving any roles.

I believe that a verification level such as 'does this account have 2fa', and 'does this account have a verified email' to the API would be really useful even if the first suggestion does get implemented, as I can imagine some bots having more restricted commands require these later settings to stop misuse from insecure accounts.
