Nicknames

I have the nickname-code working on my test GroupServer installation.
This code will allow people to use a more readable identifier to access
profiles, rather than the user-ID that is assigned by GroupServer during
registration. It will also allow people to have multiple identifiers,
which was not possible in the prior versions of GroupServer.
My next task is to allow people set a nickname during registration, and
then work on some specific nickname-setting code for a client or two.
The biggest change will be to the URL used to access profiles: instead
of "/contacts", it will be "/p". This may stand for “profiles”,
“people”, or “pure meta-amphetamine”; the choice is yours. I have taken
on the (huge) task of going through and hunting down all the links to
user-profiles and changing them so they go to the new location. I may be
some time.
