[rt-users] Duplicate users hinder login

[Ruslan Zakirov]

RT has two fields for users 'Username' and 'Real Name': first one must
be unique across the system and can be used as login, when the second
one should be used to store real name and can be not unique and user
can't use it as login.

Email address also can be used to login into RT.

If you use RT 3.4.5 and it allows you to create two users with the
same Username then we should fix it. Does it?
