`new UserStore(opts)`

Constructor for a new place to store users.

Parameters:

opts.filename (optional). The place where data is stored. Previous data will be automatically loaded from the filename.

Returns: a userstore

`.load(filename)`

Loads data from a filename.

Any commands issued before database is loaded will be buffered.

Returns: a promise for users instance with loaded data

`.createUser({ username, password })`

Creates a new user with the giving username, and password.

Username must be unique or an error will be thrown.

Returns: Promise for boolean. True if username/password is valid.

`.findByUsername(username)`

Returns: Promise for a user object that matches a given username. If no user is found, null is returned.

The hashed password is NOT included with this user object. To check if a password is valid for this user, use users.authenticate() instead
