[support] login with email and/or "hiding" user.name

[Victor Kane]

1a. I believe login tobagan gives the option to login with email
1b. hook_form_alter to login form, supply own submit handler, login
programmatically
1c. webform or roll your own login form, login programmatically in submit
handler
2. Just use the email for the user name, and add core profile or content
profilie module for first and last names, etc.
3. Override user.name theme to use profile values
