Title:
  Unique username generation fails when uppercase usernames exist

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you register with the name "Nigel McNie", the default username that
  gets picked for you is "nigelmcnie", and if there's already a
  "nigelmcnie" user, you get "nigelmcnie1".

  But if there's already a "NigelMcNie" user, you *should* get
  "nigelmcnie1", but you get "nigelmcnie" because the check is case-
  sensitive.  This causes a duplicate key error when you confirm
  registration.
