Bug and (hacky) fix: Allow users to change scree names on EE 2.5.2

Bug Report

We were receiving complaints from users who wanted to change their screen names (not user names) but were prompted for their nonexistent password. Once again, there are no acceptable hooks for Socialee to use, so in the historical EE+Socialee fashion, I hacked EE’s core. For anyone else who wants this functionality, here’s the hack:

The few changed lines are noted with comments, alongside their originals: search for “HACK” and you’ll find them all. The edits are to file /system/expressionengine/modules/members/mod.member_settings.php which you’ll now have to mess with every time EE upgrades (yay hacks!).
