Since `USERNAME_FIELD` became required and the corresponding
`get_username` now always exists it doesn't make much sense to me to
require the implementation of these 2 methods. They are only used once
each in fairly inconsequential parts of the admin (history in addition to
username for `get_full_name` and the greetings in the header block for
`get_short_name`). All other methods are concrete and generally
applicable. I do think we should still leave them in `AbstractUser`.
