Uniquify reserved word usernames on OAuth user creation

What does this MR do?

Uniquify reserved word usernames on OAuth user creation. E.g., a username of "admin" will be converted to "admin1" rather than returning a 422 "Username admin is a reserved name"

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

No

Why was this MR needed?

We use CAS authentication to automatically provision accounts on our instance. An external identity such as admin@gmail.com currently results in a 422 because 'admin' is a reserved word. Rather than require a support ticket to get these accounts created, we can uniquify them with a counter just as we do when two usernames collide.
