Error adding a role in the Admin screen with an empty parameter list

[stgraham2000]

Using Django 2.2.15 and just the django-prbac app installed, I tried to add a new role from the admin screen with an empty parameter list and received the following exception:

Internal Server Error: /admin/django_prbac/role/add/

@stgraham2000 thanks for reporting this issue (as well as #60). We are not using admin views to manage PRBAC entities, and therefore fixing this is not high on our list of priorities. Pull requests are welcome, of course.
