Description
When its used RemoteUserBackend and RemoteUserMiddleware for authentication against Active Directory (eg. using auth_mod_sspi), User.username contains backslash.
If you try to edit user details in Admin pages they can't be saved because of backslash use restriction. It would be great to remove this restriction.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of #3011 -- the root problem here is the validation requirements on auth.User, and in order to satsify everyone, we're going to need to fix the root problem.
The good news is that we've had recent movement on this topic, and a relatively simple solution that has BDFL approval. Hopefully, this means we'll have this fixed for 1.5.
