#16620: WP_User_Query, one more column solves many problems

 It is currently not very easy to search a user by his first or last name
 but if one more column (in fact, just one more word) was added to the User
 Query object, we could instruct our users to set their display name to
 something that represents their names and they become searchable!

 change line 490 from :

 {{{
         else
                 $search_columns = array('user_login', 'user_nicename');
 }}}

 to

 {{{
         else
                 $search_columns = array('user_login', 'user_nicename',
 'display_name');
 }}}

 Now the display name yields results from search
