Description of problem:

I work with multiple clusters where my username is the same. If I `oc login` into one of them, a kubeconfig context is generated that looks like this:

```
- context:
 cluster: api-ci-openshift-org:443
 namespace: ci
 user: alvaroaleman
```

The newly generated user named `alvaroaleman` has no cluster identifier attached. This means that if I log into another cluster where my user is also named `alvaroaleman`, this context will stop working.

This is a huge UX issue and used to not be the case in an earlier version of `oc` (4.3 something?)
