4448: Allow authenticating to API with e-mail address instead of username

david

The web UI allows people to log in using their e-mail address instead of their username (see AuthenticationForm.clean_username in reviewboard/accounts/forms/auth.py). Unfortunately, the Web API doesn't allow the same, which leads to some confusion when people are typing their credentials into the rbt prompt.

We'd like to make it possible to log in to the API using e-mail address instead of username.
