  Log Message:
  -----------
  name_validator() exception for preexisting user names

If the user is e.g. editing her profile and she has not changed her user
name, then skip the usual user name validation. This fixes problems for
preexisting user accounts with user names that don't pass CKAN's current
user name validation.
