[midPoint] Merge Users and Unique Property Value

[Brad Firestone]

Both Users already exist in midPoint.  They were imported at different 
times from different systems.  I'm sure there was a better way to do it 
in the beginning, but right now I just need to figure out how to use the 
Merge function if possible.
