Edwin Kempin e7ae45c2b3 Add warning that LocalUsernamesToLowerCase doesn't convert 'username' external IDs
The local username is the username that is used to login into the Gerrit
Web UI and is stored as external ID with the 'gerrit' scheme.

Usernames for SSH are stored as external IDs with the 'username' scheme.
Those are not touched by the LocalUsernamesToLowerCase program and
Gerrit doesn't provide any tool convert them to lower case.

Clarify this since in the past some users wrongly thought they could set
`auth.userNameToLowerCase` to true when they run the
LocalUsernamesToLowerCase program. This is not true since
`auth.userNameToLowerCase` is about external IDs in scheme 'username'
and LocalUsernamesToLowerCase is about external IDs in scheme 'gerrit'.
