In my opinion, as an admin, it is nice to be able to find users by email address as well. This makes Vaultwarden more compatible with other systems (e.g. for user management). Currently I use the get_users_json route to fetch all users and then filter the result, but this is suboptimal as the number of users grows.

The user model already provides a corresponding function (here), I just added a route in the admin controller to call this function.

Just as /users/overview, /users/by-mail/<mail> should not conflict with /users/<uuid>.
