This supersedes issue #125

Based on my discussion with @anoopsarkar today, we've decided to scrap the current user accounts* (which were handled completely on our end), and go with Google instead. This would let us handle user accounts more easily across multiple Docker containers (as we wouldn't have to store much info ourselves), and wouldn't have to deal with email confirmations, and forgotten passwords.

*The user accounts aren't in master; they were only in a branch I was working on - user-accounts

This is fully functional in the user-accounts branch, but it requires a bit of extra documentation.

I'd like to wait till I'm done with the Docker containers before creating a PR, though, since that'll greatly simplify deployment.
