Commits: Allow searching by username fragment

Project Member Reported by isherman@chromium.org, Feb 27 2018

Issue description

On the Commits page [https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/commits], it would be great to be able to search by username fragments -- at least, by "user:isherman" rather than "user:isherman@chromium.org".

(Relatedly, it would be great to have some example queries or autocomplete or something along those lines to guide users. I figured out the syntax because I tried searching for "isherman", and got an error message. Can we show the contents of that error message before the user tries something and it fails? O:-])

That's good feedback.  I'm going to dupe this into our general "improve searching" bug, though I worry this would take longer to implement cleanly.

Re: syntax, our hope is that we can support standard fields (e.g. a full username, full commit hash, etc) with no syntax whatsoever at some point, so I think that'd clear up your second concern.
