feat(backend): Create Users and Get JWT

Introducing a unified signup and login API. You can post to the /user
route with credentials (so far just name and password), and if the user
doesn't exist, we create the user and return a token. If the user does
exist, if the password inputted matches the database password, we return
a token for that user, else we return an error.

i've never wanted to kms more during a programming session

+# Backend Usage
+
+In order for this to work, you need to have [sqlite3](https://sqlite.org)
+installed on your system. Once you do, make a databse called `users.db`
+and initialize it with the `sql/init.sql` script:
+
+```sh
+$ cat sql/init.sql | sqlite3 users.db
+```
+
+You also need to have a `.env` file in this folder, with the following options specified
+
+- JWT_SECRET: Used to encrypt tokens for user auth. Must be provided. Should
+be cryptographically secure
+- PORT: Optionally replace the default port of 7741
