Can't change project key for project that has a lead with a changed username

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. create a project (Project1) and make User1 its project lead
      2. rename User1 to User2
      3. try to rename project key of Project1

      Outcome:
      The dialog reloads but nothing happens.

      Expected outcome:
      The project key should have been renamed.

      Cause:
      In DefaultProjectService.validateUpdateProject() we retrieve they key for the project lead: 

      final ErrorCollection validationErrors = validateUpdateProjectData(directoryUser, name, oldProjectResult.getProject(),
                ApplicationUsers.getKeyFor(lead), url, assigneeType, avatarId);

      However in DefaultProjectService.validateUpdateProjectData() we expect the lead name:

      private ErrorCollection validateUpdateProjectData(User user, String name, Project oldProject, String leadName,
            String url, Long assigneeType, Long avatarId)
    {
        final ErrorCollection errorCollection = new SimpleErrorCollection();
        final I18nHelper i18nHelper = getI18nBean(user);

        validateProjectNameForUpdate(name, oldProject.getKey(), errorCollection, i18nHelper);
        validateProjectLead(leadName, errorCollection, i18nHelper);
        validateProjectUrl(url, errorCollection, i18nHelper);
        validateProjectAssigneeType(assigneeType, errorCollection, i18nHelper);
        validateAvatarId(avatarId, oldProject, errorCollection, i18nHelper);

        return errorCollection;
    }

      Workaround:

      1. Temporarily change the Project Lead role to an user that was never renamed (you may need to create a new user to perform this action, this user can be delete after editing the project);
      2. Edit the project key;
      3. Change the Project Lead role to the original user.
