[Evergreen-general] Old Barcode/Username Change

[Morgan, Michele]

Judging from the discussion, this is a wider issue, so I checked Launchpad
for existing bugs and found some relevant ones, the first was just brought
up by Jessica:

#1255561 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1255561> OPAC: username
that starts with a number is treated like a barcode
#1828456 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1828456> AuthProxy
native login fails if username begins with a number
#1827296 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1827296>
open-ils.auth.authenticate.init incorrectly checks if identifier is
username or barcode

While certainly related, it's unclear to me whether there are actually
duplicate bugs here. Because of that, and because there is code that can be
rebased/tested, I'm copying the dev list on this as well.

Also, here's a related wishlist item:

#1891708 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1891708> Default
usernames should be changed when updating a patron barcode
