[keycloak-user] Schedule background jobs as user

[Stian Thorgersen]

This is exactly what offline tokens where created to do. The offline token
is not linked to user sessions so it doesn't matter if users login or not.
Our adapters doesn't support it properly though so you'd need to create a
filter or something that sets up the context and principle based on the
offline token.
