I ran into several user `errors: ["Username must end with a letter or number"]` because UserNameSuggester seems to be oblivious to this restriction. We should introduce something like
```plaintext
name[-1,1] =~ /[^A-Za-z0-9]/
```
and replace accordingly (how?).

Yes, @techapj and @sam are aware that the username suggester now has a lot of bugs as a result of the rules @sam changed to relax username rules.

Trailing underscore in username is now allowed:

However `UserNameSuggester` still suggests usernames with a sequence of 2 or more special chars (like `arpit__jalan`) which is not valid. ~~I am working on a fix for that.~~ Fixed:
