HabitCal URLs: usernames instead of just ids

This is a minor thing, but convenient for those of us who would prefer not to have to remember our phpbb user ids.

You can now open habitcals based on usernames rather than just ids:

New way ("on" parameter -- stands for "owner name"):

http://everydaysystems.com/habitcal/vie ... d&t=*&v=ta

Old way ("o" parameter -- stands for "owner [id]"):

http://everydaysystems.com/habitcal/view/?o=2&t=*&v=ta

The old way still works because cool urls never change.

The reason I finally had to make this change was to get the google gadget habitcal view to work without requiring people to type in these ridiculous ids.
