[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH 1/5] Override only the updated "User" methods in "patch_auth"

[Aline Manera]

From: Crístian Viana <vianac at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The function "patch_auth" creates a fake class to override the existing
kimchi.auth.User with a few updated methods. That attribution overrides
the entire User class along with all its methods.

In order to avoid side effects, override only the methods we need to
change in the "User" class. Other methods not related to "patch_auth"
will not be affected now.
