 By default, BuddyPress now checks for user_nicename instead of user_login,
 however we don't check for user_nicename in bp_core_get_userid().

 So far, I've found this breaks autocomplete functionality for the messages
 component if the user_login does not match the user_nicename. (For the
 most part, this occurs on single WordPress installs that are adding
 BuddyPress for the first time.)  But there could be more instances.

 A code audit of user_login vs. user_nicename should probably be done at
 the same time as well.
