Allow update of username [#453580]

While most people may not see the use of updating usernames, I have a site migration I need this for. The accounts are initially created with an import of data from the old billing system, and the usernames/passwords need to be updated with a second import with data from the old front end system. I'm sure others could come up with a few more use cases.

Here's a patch against 6.x-1.2 that implements this feature. This would be more difficult to implement as a module because of the duplicate username check code (which had to be modified slightly).
