Bug Description
CW MARS recently enabled the Instant Digital Card feature in Overdrive, and we found a lot of patrons, who already had library barcodes, signing up because it was easier for them to input their phone number than to look up their library card number.
Since Overdrive supports logging in with a barcode or username, and does so with other ILS products, our members asked if we could support patrons logging into Overdrive with the Evergreen username as well. We think that it will be easier for patrons to remember their usernames, and that this will lead to fewer requests for Instant Digital Cards in Overdrive.

My original title for this bug was misleading and came from internal email exchanges as did my initial summary. Basically, we want to allow a patron to use their OPAC username with SIP2 services, and here is a branch that does that:
