To test with local provider:

* add `_` to a valid char in `re_project_name` in `helpers.py`
* register a user with `_` in username
* change `re_project_name` back
* log in
* go to `/u/user_name` and see that it redirs to `/u/user-name`
    * (that ends up 404ing, see explanation in test code)

Similar test can be done with SF's provider and the final result works.

** [tickets:#7916] Error when handling user-profile URLs of users with invalid 
names.**

Some users have usernames that aren't valid as project shortnames (old 
historical usernames probably).  For these users, the Auth Provider can provide 
an alternate user-project name for that user.  When this happens, and you go to 
the URL using the invalid name like `/u/foo_bar/` then you can get errors like 
this:
