[keycloak-dev] Proper handling of read only users from user storage

[Stian Thorgersen]

That's far from ideal. Dealing with this through an exception is horrible.
I've said several times that all we need at minimum is a way for a provider
to tell Keycloak if it's read or read/write. A boolean is fine for now.
Once we had that it would take an hour or two to do the UI work.
