[Catalyst] switching Authentication::Store::DBIC?

[Yuval Kogman]

Set up three instances of the store backend under different names,
and use the more "manual" variants of ->get_user, and pass a user
object to $c->login.

Another option is to try and create a consolidated view of the two
data sets, either using an SQL level view or a custom backend.
