[keycloak-user] Building and testing keycloak custom modules/SPIs

[Stian Thorgersen]

The user storage example leverages this approach. It should be documented
in the server developer guide.

You can't deploy custom SPIs this way only providers. For a custom SPI
you'd have to deploy that as a module, restart the server, then you can
deploy your custom providers for your custom SPIs.
