Add a username slug to the user URL
This way it won't be possible to browse all user URLs by just going to /users/1, /users/2, /users/3, ... and collect usernames, which might not be desirable in some cases. Note we could use the username as a URL parameter and just find the user with `@user = User.find_by!(id: id, username: username)`, but since usernames might contain strange characters, this might lead to strange/ugly URLs. Finally, note we're using `username.to_s` in order to cover the case where the username is `nil` (as is the case with erased users).
