Matěj Suchánek 11b9e66f9f Disallow anonymous non-IP agents, handle truncated names
Why:
* Echo stores agents by their user id or by the name if the user
  is not registered. This works for IPs since the "event_agent_ip"
  field has limit of 39 bytes (32× [0-9A-F] + 7× colon for IPv6).
* However, it's possible to hold a user identity that is not
  an IP address, but the user name has not been or cannot be
  registered (e.g., external users). Echo wouldn't validate this
  and would attempt to insert the user name into "event_agent_ip",
  possibly causing silent truncation and data corruption.

What:
* Do not let events with such agents be saved. For now, log an
  error in the production. Wikibase, the only known source of this
  problem, has already been fixed.
* In runtime, replace every possibly corrupted user name with
  a placeholder to avoid unexpected null values and exceptions
  in production.
