user exists by id, email or username

[littfed]

I use Auth module, but I need function, to check if user exists in database not only by username.

I patch /models/user.php and add function exists.

	/**
	 * Tests if a user exists in the database.
	 *
	 * @param   string   username or email or id to check
	 * @return  bool
	 */
	public function exists($id)
	{
		if ( ! empty($id) AND is_string($id) AND ! ctype_digit($id))
		{
			$where = valid::email($id) ? 'email' : 'username';
		} else  $where = 'id';

		return (bool) self::$db->where($where, $id)->count_records('users');
	}

Maybe, it will be interesting for someone else?

This is being considered, but am moving it to 2.2 as it is a feature request and not a bug fix.
