payroll-type — US:403b:Employee:Roth — needed separate since taxable

Since Roth contributions are taxable, there are some reports that
need to include these amounts in total salary (i.e., when running a
report that seeks to show total taxable income for an employee). As
such, we need a `payroll-type` specifically for Roth 403(b)
contributions.

Beancount plugin and tools for Conservancy's books

* A Beancount plugin to validate that transactions are documented according to business rules, and normalize "enum-like" metadata we have defined
* A set of financial business reports from the books
* Related tools to help with audit and tax reporting

Installation
------------

``cd`` to this directory with your checkout and then run::

  python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade .

For development, a Python virtual environment may be more appropriate. See the development documentation for details.
