Comment:

 patch is well tested, but it could always use a little more of it. it
 includes #9563 and #9564, which are prerequisites to make this work.

 Detailed Changes:

  - Username is still available, but no longer is a required field
  - If left empty, the username will default to the email address (and
 change when the email address changes)
  - Note that internally, the username is still used, to ensure backward
 compatibility
  - The various form labels and error messages have been changed to reflect
 the optional nature of the username
