This option allows to disable users from changing their username.

This is very usefull in environments using strong internal authentication methods like ldap, pam or shibboleth.

You can allow users to change theyr username in these environments, but then new users (users loging in first time) is blocked from gitlab is her username exists.

The 2 reasons are :
- creation of user fail if name is empty : in after_save, it tries to create a
namespace with namespace.name = user.name and namespece validates presence
Namespace#name
- in the web app links to team members are broken with empty User#name because
they are of the form <a href'...'> user.name </a>
