[keycloak-dev] Move email first name, last name and email to be stored as user attribute, not UserModel property?

[Marek Posolda]

+1 for have unified mapper for properties and attributes. That's very 
easy to do, we can just fallback to setAttribute/getAttribute if there 
is not property . LDAP UserAttribute mapper is already unified and is 
doing like that.

Having the basic attributes in separate table might theoretically have 
some performance impact. For example if email is stored as attribute, 
then each searching by email needs to join 2 tables instead of one. 
There is also DB constraint to enforce unique email. So maybe at least 
email worth to keep as it is?
