[keycloak-user] Is there a pre-save event

[Marek Posolda]

AFAIK we don't have any additional validation for creating user through 
admin REST API. But I can see that "success" event in 
UsersResource.createUser is invoked even before the transaction commit 
happened. So I think that if you do the validations in your event 
listener and throw the ModelException from it, it will cause the 
transaction rollback and user won't be written to DB.

Maybe there is some space for improvement in our API (eg. infinispan has 
both "pre" and "post" events), however this one above should work too.
