autocomplete: also query 'firstname lastname' and 'lastname firstname' combinations

The autocomplete functionality for user names, e.g. in pull request reviewer
lists, @mentions, etc. would match the input term only on firstname,
lastname or username, but not a combination of firstname lastname.

This is a problem when there are many matches on the same firstname or
lastname, in particular with Chinese names like 'Wang', 'Cheng', etc. If you
know the full name and type it, you would not get any matches.

Instead, adapt the queries to also match on 'firstname lastname' and
'lastname firstname'.

This means that simple matching on only username or only lastname, can be
removed.

Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
