[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Disallow username changes to user_n if n isn't their id (PR #4218)

[Anton Khorev]

In case you don't want #4215, there's already a defacto url scheme with user ids: `/user/user_id`. That's what deleted accounts get reset to. But it has a couple of problems. "user_12345" is a valid username for anyone, not just the user with id=12345. Depending on how many usernames with this pattern already exist, we may want to stop allowing new ones.

I know one active user with this kind of name, but it matches their id.
