Add method for linking to user profile by username

[janoskabedis]

Right now, you can only access user profiles in the UI using User IDs. However, often we only have access to the username - not the User ID - and want to link to the user's profile...

Is there a way to make it configurable to enable a proxy route that use's usernames? And then redirects to the user profile?

This is a good feature to add because we will be able to add hyperlinks to various pages - like the read_one form page, and all the pages where we list multiple forms.

We can add a ADD_PROFILE_BYPASS_ROUTE config that adds a path to access user profiles with the username only, eg. /ui/auth/p/{username}. In this example, we drop the full profile text from the URL to avoid conflicting with the existing profile routes.

Closing, but this may produce strange results when other profiles are not enabled - in which case, we can probably just disable the links...
