 Description   

"Username" is displayed on login screen in 2.0, but on user configuration screen, that is "Alias".
I think it's better to change "Alias" to "Username" for usability.

note that the db field should be changed as well

This "trivial" issue cost me more than 8 man-hours of work, trying to figure out why new users I created could not log in.  Because of the unclear naming, I had confused the 'Alias' and 'name' fields when I created the users.

Despite that this issue is labeled as affecting version 1.9.9, it is still a problem in version 5.

I believe we have do rename Alias to Username everywhere: UI, API, macros and database. We may still keep Alias in some places for backward compatibility.

Will we keep supporting Alias in API with "deprecated" warnings for few versions?
