Web-created quests may not appear in native app #125

The source of this problem is the fact that facebook IDs are not unique; they are app-specific. Each user can have 2 facebook IDs, one for web and one for native.

A suboptimal solution: search for the creator's quests by name instead of facebook ID, effectively treating names as unique.

A better but more difficult solution: take this into account by redesigning the db schema to store both a web_facebook_id and a native_facebook_id.

Another possibility: remove the "created quests" button from the native app and hope that the redundant entries in the user table don't present a problem elsewhere.

Fixed this issue by creating a business account on Facebook, associating all 3 apps with it (web, native, & dev), and then using the Business Mapping API to set the native user ID to be the web user ID.
