Merge branch 'fix/reserved-usernames-checkusername'

account.checkUsername / channels.checkUsername / bots.checkUsername said a
reserved name was available and only updateUsername rejected it. Add the
blocklist check to peerUsernameAvailable (covers account + channel, both
backends) and to bots.Service.CheckUsername, so the client shows "username is
taken" immediately.
