Nicknames are useless

Description

The nickname is used maybe nowhere, so setting it has barely any (maybe no) effect. On the other hand, I don't think it should be used. They can be set to anything and are not even unique. Using them will only result in confusion and deceit. I suggest we remove them entirely, from both the model, forms and views, then maybe re-add them, enforce their allowed content (e.g. different case letters of the username), and start using them. As a temporary means, I suggest we remove them from forms and views but keep them in the model, since right now their only function is to confuse users.

Or allow them to be anything (like the user's name), but show the unique username somewhere near.
