When a user changes their name, their old name should be held for a configurable period of time (default to 90 days). During this period, nobody can get the new name except the user it is held for.

The holding mechanism data should be kept in a separate table held_usernames with fields:

id
user_name
user_id

Held usernames should be checked for in validation of UserNameComponent.name.

All related information must be clearly disclosed to the users on relevant actions, events and pages.
