Bug ID: 68927
Summary: Prevent new account creations from taking names that
have been requested in a pending rename request

As a user who is going to be forcibly renamed
I would like my rename request to block new account creation with the same name
So I don't have to repeated attempt to find a non-conflicting name.
Check new account creation requests against pending rename requests in a
'AbortNewAccount' hook [[:mediawiki:Manual:Hooks/AbortNewAccount]] and return
false if the requested name matches a rename request with the "pending" status.
Renames that end up in the "accepted" status will already be block by virtue of
being existing global accounts. Renames that end up in the "denied" status
should not be considered because a steward's decision on a given rename does
not constitute a permanently binding global ban on the use of the requested
name. If the new account name is offensive or infringing it will be dealt with
using existing community processes.
