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

[Stian Thorgersen]

+1 Primary or "login" email should be left on user entity. We need to
consider how we're going to support having more than one email associated
with one account as well as multiple accounts with same email. I'd say we'd
have a login email, but also contact emails.
