Allow admins to set a limit on the length of usernames #389

Some of our users are using entire sentences for their usernames. Our admins would like to be able to stop this behavior. Add site.username_max_length to the admin site configuration panel, and enforce the limit at registration.

Could you also set the maxlength attribute in the registration form? That'd make it a bit more user friendly

Updated it to use a wtforms Validator to check the username length, and added a description of the expected length toth e field title for users to see when they hover over the field.
