Tracker: Implement autocompleted feature for comments mentions

Problem

In Tracker comments, you can ping somebody by simply doing @username. The problem is you must be aware about this. Something like autocompleter poping up after typing @ would be nice, similar how it works on Phabricator.

Proposed solution

Implement the feature. You can use Tracker's API (/api/auth/users/) to get the list of users.

Student is expected to send a patch for wikimedia-cz/tracker repository, hosted at Wikimedia Gerrit. When claiming task on GCI website, student should claim a respective Phabricator task as well.
