This way we can make use of the reusable components of the `verdi` command line module.
The following columns are dropped: * `password` * `date_joined` * `groups` * `is_active` * `is_staff` * `is_superuser` * `last_login` * `user_permissions` These columns were originally added because the base user class of the Django framework was used, which provided the ORM layer. However, these attributes are not used at all and Django does not require them in order to work properly. Therefore, we remove them from the models for both backends. Note that in principle, the `contrib` and `auth` applications currently installed for Django, could also be removed without affecting the functionality of `aiida-core` since it no longer requires the built in authentication application of Django. However, since the initial migration schema still references it, we cannot yet remove it fully. If we were to reset the database migration schema, we could get rid of these unnecessary dependencies.
