[aerogear-dev] Push Authentication

[Bruno Oliveira]

Correct, our friend AeroGearUser became a zombie and no more belongs to 
our ecosystem.

If someone is concerned about: username, loginName, whaTeVerName. It 
must be coordinated between server and client.

Possible solutions:

- Accept 'username' as pretty name on the endpoint and make use of DTOs 
(I don't like)
- Accept flexible names on client APIs +1
- Extend SimpleUser from PL (I don't like it)

Bear in mind that every security framework will have their own 
implementation and AeroGear security doesn't have control over it.
