551748 - Override `user` in template context with the amo user(profile)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Jeff Balogh (:jbalogh)]

auth.context_processors injects the current auth.User (or AnonymousUser) into the view.  I think the only useful thing we can do with this is access user.is_authenticated().  We want the UserProfile for everything else.

1. Give UserProfile an is_authenticated() method (and make sure it doesn't do more than 1 auth.User lookup).
2. Make apps/users/context_processors.py and inject our user.
3. Make sure the admin still works.  If it's having issues, we might have to call our guy amo_user.  But I'd prefer to just call it user.

This is kind of already done as amo_user, right?
