Description

I saw that the only database pouchdbdb-authentication is handeling is _users, which's a perfectly fine thing!

However, for those who doesn't have money (including me), affording a server can seem something small. For me, it's not. _I can't afford another server just because _users it's the only way to go for handling an user-system. I created a database "users_2" and tried to store the data there, but.. the plugin is totally shape to fit only _users

I'm curious, why is this? I keep trying to make the calls to "localhost:5894/users_2/...", and it goes right on /users_ despite of the database I've choosen to use (users_2)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the plugin's code to identify where 'users' database name is hardcoded, and propose a configuration option to allow a custom database name.
