Username, Journal Short Names, and Mentions

[danielBingham]

Story Description

What are we trying to accomplish in plain english?

We want users to be able to mention each other and journal teams in comments using @<username> syntax. We also want to be able to give both users and journals human readable profile links using their <username> or <shortname>, so we need to add those fields to the database and add setting them to the registration and journal creation forms. We also need to add code for mentioning and for clear links to papers through either their author's profile <username>/<paperId> or through their journal <journalname>/<paperId>.

One thing to consider is whether we should use <paperId> or a <paperNumber> that increases incrementally for each journal.
