Title: Add User Authentication Feature

Description:

This pull request introduces user authentication functionality to our
web application. The main goal of this feature is to ensure that each
action performed on the platform is tied to a valid, logged-in user,
thus providing accountability and maintaining data security.

Changes:

New models: Added the User model to represent users in our system. This
model includes fields: username, password_hash, email etc.

User seriliazer and views: Implemented serializers and API views for
user registration, login, and logout.

Authentication Middlewares: Added middlewares to check for a valid
session or token before allowing access to certain views.

Tests: Included comprehensive test coverage for the new feature. Tests
were implemented to verify user registration, login, and logout
functionality, as well as checking authentication enforcement on
applicable views.

    Documentation: Updated API documentation related to User endpoints.

This feature is expected to improve the overall security of our
application by properly managing user sessions and actions.

Note: You will see references to some helper tools like make_password
and check_password methods, these are security measures to ensure we are
not storing plain text passwords in the database.

This PR follows our Python coding standards and is fully linted and
tested.

Requesting review and feedback. If all points are clear and no issues
are detected during the review, we would appreciate it if this PR could
be merged at the earliest convenience.
