Hi,

As far as I can see, OIDCAuthenticationBackend.create_user will fail if we are dealing with a user with no username.

We should probably document how to deal with a custom user model.

For example, I am dealing with a usermodel with no username and only email. What I did was overwrite create_user in MyOIDCBackend.
