Initial call to loadUser() #15

Why is this initial call to loadUser() done? I removed it and it seems to work anyway :-).

This is needed to load an existing user into the redux store. The app will work without it, but the user manager keeps user data in session storage which gets picked up that way.

If you don't use it, when you reload the page, your user data is lost and you have to log in again. This is no only unnecessary but also potentially dangerous when you're creating new access tokens unnecessarily. Please keep using loadUser.
