[keycloak-dev] Simplifying realm model

[Marek Posolda]

+1 to go this way for realm model. For users+userSessions I would likely 
keep it in current form due to performance reasons, but for realm model 
I am not seeing any issue to store it in blob as realm model doesn't 
contain big amount of data. I am seeing just advantages and much simpler 
migration and DB maintenance, which is currently pain.
