Improve the users API

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The current users API is about the same as the one in the AppEngine SDK, good 
for development, but useless for any practical purpose.

Replacing it with something that uses a Google account for login (much like 
the official GAE), perhaps support for other systems of login could be used 
too, like OpenID.

I am unsure of how administrator users should be configured, perhaps just use 
a apptool flag to set it?

This would be a very useful enhancement in combination with a management 
interface for our backend services.

Google AppEngine now supports OpenID for user authentication. It would be great 
for Typhoon to be as feature-compatible with GAE as possible.
