In this commit, I mostly did work on the migrations. Firstly, I droppped the
vestigial columns from the User table (ie. status, email_verified, is_admin).
Otherwise, I did a lot of work converting my existing migrations from high-
level ORM commands to low-level SQL commands to ensure that the migrating will
work regardless of what stage their instance is working in. I also re-integrated
my two registered migrations into one. Because the migration became very long, I
also added a lot of clarifying documentation.
