Bug Description

Currently Postorius requires use of the BrowserID service to log in. It might be useful to provide a more standard username/password interface for those who prefer it.

Notes: right now, the only email/password that works may be the django admin one, but Mailman 3 does have the ability to use passwords and the infrastructure for storing them, so you probably want to hook any django accounts up to that.

So basically we can provide option for user to register either the persona way or by the registration system we will create using the inbuilt User model of Django. For inbuilt User model registration way we will store registaration information in Django's Db. So in the login for user we have to check for the user's credentials in both the db (Django and mailman db) and this way we can authenticate the user for login.
In a nutshell we have to check for user in both the db and then we can autheticate the user.
