Allow users to log in using their e-mail address.
Review Request #6103 — Created July 14, 2014 and submitted
One thing that sometimes happens is that users will try to log in using their
e-mail address instead of their username, and then get confused when it doesn't
work. This is exacerbated by the fact that our sessions last a long time, so
it's often been a very long time since users had to log in.This change makes it so that if a user logs in, and the username isn't found,
it will try to look up their user by e-mail address.
Logged in to my devserver using both my username and my e-mail address.

I was tempted to do this as well, after the recent attempt.
What happens if two users have the same e-mail address? We should probably disallow login in that case. Otherwise, the wrong username will be used internally, the password won't match, and the user will be very confused.
