The old storage mechanism had no unique index on the user_id, so it is possible to have bad data. In this case, take the first value, and ignore the rest.
This brings the plugin in-line with recent core improvements. Advantages include
- Account-linking logic and storage is shared between all authentication providers
- Optionally, users can be allowed to disconnect/reconnect their accounts
- The 'last used' date of an association is recorded
- Association metadata is recorded in the database for use in data explorer and other plugins
Data migration will be performed automatically, and all existing functionality is maintained.
