Add permalink for users

[alexhrao]

Motivation

If someone wants to view the profile of someone else, they'll need to be able to navigate there. This would be tied to the user - stored with the user's information and created at creation time.

Parameters & Constraints

In an ideal world, a permalink would have the following traits:

• The link is static - never changes
• The link only works if logged in as a user that is somehow connected to the target
• The profile page is static, and has the following sets of information
  • Email
  • Birthday
  • Picture
  • Bio
  • Common groups
  • Common events

Implementation

There are a couple of ways of doing this:

• At creation time, create a URL-compliant hash that's unique to that user - a UUID of sorts. This would be stored as a field with other user information, and would not be changeable. It's not predictable.

Done. This unique ID is used for anything tied to that (and only that) user
