[Rails] Let's create a string for Terrastories users called username and use that for logging in/out instead of email #606

Context:

Currently, Terrastories users are being asked to log in or register with an email address.

Most of our current users (i.e. communities in the Amazon) don't have an email address, and so this is not an appropriate format for their use case. In addition, some of our potential users inquiring about Terrastories have concerns about security and would rather not submit an email address.

Let's make a string username in the users table and make that be the field that people use to log in and out to Terrastories, instead of email.
