Description
Add a company and client group setting that removes the ability for clients, in the client interface, or during signup from specifying their own username. The setting should default to the current behavior. This would effectively force the use of email addresses for authentication, if enabled.
If a user is signing up, and the email address already exists in the system, they should be urged to login instead. This may require updating an error message in the client area, or other changes.
This task affects the client area, admin area, and probably the order plugin.
