Make a POST request to the user endpoint to fetch user profile details upon authorization.

Current requirement functionality

This functionality partially exists currently.

User Story

---

During ouath2 authorization with onadata, superset makes a GET request to fetch the user profile details on this endpoint api/v1/user.json. This is a problem because at the point of authorization, authentication credentials are usually stored in the master db before being synced to the read replica db, hence making a GET request will always go to the read replica db which at that point in time might not have the user's details. This results to a 401 error. The best way to handle this, is to make a POST request with no payload to the same endpoint, which will always go to the master db that will always have the user's credentials.

Proposed Implementation

---

• Have superset make a POST request to the api/v1/user.json endpoint.
• Remove the subsequent request to the api/v1/profiles/<username>.json endpoint since the api/v1/user.json endpoint has all the user's details required.
