Replace warning message "you can't change your friendly name" with something less obtrusive

Description

When a friendly name can't be edited, a popup is displayed to notify the user about this. It has a "do not show this message again" checkbox, but it's still too obtrusive.

Instead we need to find a way to make this clear to the user while not blocking his workflow. (perhaps some inline note in the account settings panel)

Fixed. This patch completely avoids nickname changes if the account is not verified; therefore the problem should be gone.

Btw, the Account Settings already forbid changing the nickname manually. The patch just extends checking at a lower level - may avoid other problems, too.
