I've done this one manually, but it would be good to fix up Renameuser to:

  1. Don't allow renaming a user to an invalid username
  2. Do allow renaming an invalid username to a valid one!

Fixed with r20841.

Found another bug (and fixed it): oldusername was written with NS0 instead of
NS2 into logs

Just poking this to test a bugzilla mail issue.
