Kartik Srivastava 63173d5554 api: Return 'user_id' in 'POST /users' response.
This adds 'user_id' to the simple success response for 'POST /users'
api endpoint, to make it convenient for API clients to get details
about users they just created.  Appropriate changes have been made in
the docs and test_users.py.

Fixes #16072.
