Backend functionality for getting current logged in user's information from canonical directory, and storing it in users table upon login

[muhammad-ali-pk]

Done

• Checked the existence of logged in user in "users" table, and if negative, fetched user info from canonical directory and saved in users table
• Stored user id in session
• Added an endpoint /api/current-user to fetch currently logged in user's info
• Added a helper function called get_user_from_directory_by_key which fetches a user from canonical directory by a given key,value.

QA

QA steps

Please note that you need to test it locally, because the directory API on demo is currently not working and is being fixed in a different task.

• Check out this PR and run the application using dotrun command locally.
• Open localhost:8104 in your browser.
• Log in using Ubuntu SSO if not already.
• Make sure you have the VPN on. (This is required to fetch data from directory API)
• Call the localhost:8104/api/current-user GET endpoint and verify it returns the currently logged in user's info.

Fixes

• Fixes #WD-18146
