      Unique Usernames in Identity Pallet (#2651) · d1f678c0

      This PR allows _username authorities_ to issue unique usernames that
      correspond with an account. It also provides two-way lookup, that is
      from `AccountId` to a single, "primary" `Username` (alongside
      `Registration`) and multiple unique `Username`s to an `AccountId`.
      
      Key features:
      
      - Username Authorities added (and removed) via privileged origin.
      - Authorities have a `suffix` and an `allocation`. They can grant up to
      `allocation` usernames. Their `suffix` will be appended to the usernames
      that they issue. A suffix may be up to 7 characters long.
      - Users can ask an authority to grant them a username. This will take
      the form `myusername.suffix`. The entire name (including suffix) must be
      less than or equal to 32 alphanumeric characters.
      - Users can approve a username for themselves in one of two ways (that
      is, authorities cannot grant them arbitrarily):
      - Pre-sign the entire username (including suffix) with a secret key that
      corresponds to their `AccountId` (for keyed accounts, obviously); or
      - Accept the username after it has been granted by an authority (it will
      be queued until accepted) (for non-keyed accounts like pure proxies or
      multisigs).
      - The system does not require any funds or deposits. Users without an
      identity will be given a default one (presumably all fields set to
      `None`). If they update this info, they will need to place the normal
      storage deposit.
      - If a user does not have any username, their first one will be set as
      `Primary`, and their `AccountId` will map to that one. If they get
      subsequent usernames, they can choose which one to be their primary via
      `set_primary_username`.
      - There are some state cleanup functions to remove expired usernames
      that have not been accepted and dangling usernames whose owners have
      called `clear_identity`.

      - [x] Add migration to runtimes
      - [x] Probably do off-chain migration into People Chain genesis
      - [x] Address a few TODO questions in code (please review)
