If in name you have special characters you cannot change username (aka: namespace)

Created by: ogarcia

To reproduce the issue

  1. Create new user
  2. Put a name with special characters (Óscar García for example)
  3. Change his/her username

Expected: That the username path (namespace) changes

Observed behavior: The username changes in web profile, but not the namespace. If you see in database with select * from namespaces; you can see that the field name and path don't change. If you remove the special characters in name and save then works fine.

Output of checks: GitLab version is trunk (commit d0779d61).
