login() documentation assumes no custom auth.User model

[Justin Holmes]

See the example provided for login(), here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.login

It seems to assume that the USERNAME_FIELD is 'username' - ie, that no
custom User model is in place.

I propose adding language here to make it clear that 'username' is
actually USERNAME_FIELD. Without objection, I'm happy to make the
Pull Request.

Thoughts?

`authenticate()` is actually more general than that - it takes **kwargs depending on the auth backend. Might want to make things clearer in the docs for that though.
