 `wp_dropdown_users`, by default, shows the display name for a user.

 The function is used in `users.php` to show a list of users, so that you
 can attribute posts to someone when deleting an existing user. It should
 show the username so that the exact list shows up. I just had a situation
 trying to delete a user where I had multiple "Tom"s show up as display
 names, with no idea which to delete.

 We can easily use the `show` parameter where `wp_dropdown_users` is used
 in `users.php` to delete a user to make this actually usable when deleting
 users.
