Multisite username check

Moz: /* Sites */

This is a suggestion by [[User:Porg|Porg]]. Participation is welcome!

In the user registration process at the various Open Pandora related sites (board, wiki, repo, bugtracker, …) [[User:Porg|Porg]] suggests to display the following hint:
----
'''Before registering your username''' here, you can run the [http://usernames.openpandora.org/check Pandora sphere username checker], which tests whether the username already exists within any other OpenPandora [http://usernames.openpandora.org/sites related sites]:
* '''As a courtesy to other users''', in order to not take their name away on other sites.
* '''For your own convenience''', to achieve a uniform nickname on all the OpenPandora sites, as a new arriving community member.
----
