    Add support for updating User information on the backend.
    
    This provides new AuthBackend functions for updating the password,
    e-mail address, and full name on the backend.
    
    For the e-mail address and full name, we first store in the User object
    and then allow the auth backend to update the backend based on the values in
    the User object.
    
    For passwords, we actually have the auth backend handle all aspects of
    the updating. This is because we don't necessarily want to store data in
    the User object. The StandardAuthBackend contains the logic for updating
    the User object, but other backends likely won't want to modify that, in
    order for lookups on the server to work.
    Made sure that updating still works, including password changes. Verified
    through print statements that the other functions are being invoked. Nothing
    actually implements them, though.
