Fixes #35 by removing the requirement for clients to send their user id stored in their key file to authenticate.

Clients will also no longer store their user id in their key file.
Old key files still containing a user id are compatible as only the first line is read.

Switching between servers causes the client's user id to be overwritten, quickly exhausting memory and available usernames when clients connect.
Hashed keys are unique and should not cause problems when connecting to different servers.
