Remove requirement for a database #76

The cloud portal doesn't really need a database - it is only there to store session data and so that the integration with django.contrib.auth works.

It would be better for scaling etc. and simplicity of deployment if the requirement for a database was removed. This entails storing the Openstack token directly in a cookie instead of in the session and removing all django.contrib.auth integration with DRF.
