Add username filtering #940

Description

@xXPinkmagicXx

When a user creates a new account, they will have the option to choose their username.
This introduces some problems.

  1. Do we want to reserve some usernames?
    • Admin, System, Moderator
    • Zeeguu
    • Other?
  2. Do we want to filter/ban some words in usernames?
    • Swear words (in all languages) ?
    • Do we want both backend and frontend?

Note: We should also think about normalization of characters as users can bypass filters with:

  • Cyrillic lookalikes
  • Accents
  • Zero-width characters
