I've now added a third commit to prevent searching on usernames if the
'nousernames' option is enforced (except for site admins and site staff
who can always see usernames anyway, and should therefore also be able
to always search on them).

I've also amended the first commit to fix a couple of areas I spotted
where the 'searchusernames' option was being used to decide whether or
not to *display* usernames. The 'nousernames' option seems a more
logical choice so is now used instead.

Title:
  Site option to prevent display of usernames

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  There are a few places in Mahara where usernames are displayed to
  ordinary users (e.g. user/find.php and user/online.php). This may be a
  privacy issue for sites where email addresses are used as usernames.

  This patch adds a site option enabling the admin to prevent usernames
  being displayed to ordinary users anywhere in the site.
