-------------------------+-----------------------
 `bp_core_get_userid_from_nicename()` (or `bp_core_get_userid()`) is run on
 every member profile page and is currently uncached.

 Attached patch:
 * switches the direct DB query with `get_user_by()`, which caches the
 query when an object cache is enabled
 * returns `NULL` so it emulates the previous DB query on failure
