Feature description

It would be really great if you could add the option to use uppercase usernames. Right now it forces us to use lowercase usernames like 'felitendo', but if i want to use 'Felitendo', then i would have to change the username on every single site that supports it (which are not a lot sadly).

Pitch

This Feature would help me a lot with user management and I personally think there is no good reason to force all users to use lowercase usernames. Or maybe add an option in the Administration Settings where each Server Owner can decide for themselves if they want to force the use of lowercase usernames or not :)

Also if you want me to, i can add a PR that adresses this issue. But I first need to know which option is the better one:

Allow uppercase usernames for everyone
Force lowercase usernames by default, but add an option in admin settings that toggles the creation of uppercase usernames

Second option would be great! It would assure that everyone can decide for themselves
