fix: no user ever had a username, so people search found nobody

Root cause of "still cannot find users": username was optional in
better-auth's schema and no signup form or settings page ever set it,
but search/profile/follow all key on username, not user id. Every
account now gets a unique one auto-generated (from name/email) in the
user.create.before hook — covers email/password and OAuth signups.
Added a one-off db:backfill-usernames script for accounts created
before this fix and ran it against the current database.
