forms: Allow user name and email to be blocked

Reviewed-By: Peter Rotich <peter@osticket.com>

This box shows if the ticket open page is shown without selecting a new user
account. Autocorrect should be disabled on that box too.

HTML does not allow nested <p> tags. Therefore the user warning was not
correctly hidden with the rest of the user change confirmation message.

Fixes a regression in 1.8 where user names and emails submitted via the web
interface would not properly be detected by the filter system for rejection.
