Fixed one typo in response_helpers which caused is_admin context variable not to work correctly. Created new checkLinkNameForId function that checks if link_name is correct when creating new user and modifying existing one. This is now used for validation instead of doesLinkNameBelongToId in UserForm clean_link_name function. The previous validation function didn't allow to create new users and modify linkname of existing ones. Additionally I created new doesLinkNameExist helper function.

# Performance note: I benchmarked this code using a set instead of
# a list for the stopwords and was surprised to find that the list
# performed /better/ than the set - maybe because it's only a small
# list.
