Description

Since the introduction of system db security a user cannot delete their own _users doc. This is because we test that the "name" field of the updated document matches the userCtx. It doesn't in the case of a DELETE because the body only contains _id, _rev and _deleted.

Changing the code to compare the username embedded in the doc _id instead is a fix.
