Modify newuser process to prevent mail redirection errors #190

Description

@BNH440

Prevent uppercase letters in usernames so postfix doesn't fail to redirect mail (due to it changing all emails to lowercase before checking users). Only was an issue for PB redirects because that's all we use postfix for right now, may be a larger issue once we do mailman migration.
