Null SQL user

[Michael Griego]

There already is a DEFAULT profile that is checked for every user  
regardless of what groups they may or not may be in.  It would be  
easiest (and make the most sense, IMO) to just wrap everything before  
the profile check section (line 1018 in the CVS HEAD rlm_sql.c) in an  
"if (request->username != NULL)" block...  That way none of the  
radcheck/radreply and group checks for the normal username are done,  
it just skips straight to checking the default profile (or user  
profile if the attribute exists).
