Custom User Model Support for better handling the Auth0 user_id

[techdragon]

Currently the user_id has the pipe character replaced with a dot. This is necessary due to the limitations of the default Django user model.

If someone wants to or already has a custom user model that does support the pipe character in the username field, we should have a way to disable the pipe character rewriting.

I made a PR #36 allowing to optionally replace the pipes for dots by configuring it in the settings.

I fixed this by building my own library that you might consider https://github.com/techdragon/django-auth0-user and it already has this feature. Its based on python-social-auth's existing OpenID Connect support but I've provided extensive helpers around making it simple to use Auth0.

Hi @techdragon im reactivating the development process of this package so i will try yours in order to inspire in how we could improve both packages.
