Billing account access level option in the API

[Haokun Chen]

Hi!

I notice that the "Billing" account access level option is present in the ads console API when inviting new user to the ads account. However, such option is not there in the API.

This is resulting in several unexpected behavior:

1. When querying the customer_user_access table from the API, users with "Billing" access level will not be returned. However, those emails and users are showed up in the ads console.

2. When querying the customer_user_access_invitation table from the API, users with "Billing" access level will be returned, however, the access role is "Unknown" instead of "Billing". 

Can we have this "Billing" as enum in the API as well? This seems to match the console UI functionality.
