Description

Adding a username with a comma in it makes the entire cohort fail.

Real-life case: https://metrics.wmflabs.org/cohorts/#6935 contains https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Бурачек,_Андрій_Всеволодович who has a comma in his username. The result of this cohort:
Validation: FAILURE

without any possibility to remove this user and without marking this user as invalid.

As usernames with commas are allowed, they should be allowed by Wikimetrics as well.

@NickK Thanks for creating this task.
I checked the code and there are currently 2 ways you can create cohorts containing usernames with commas:

Enclose usernames between *double* quotes.
Wikimetrics also permits to add usernames without quotes, given that you specify the project as a last parameter. Like: Бурачек, Андрій Всеволодович, en (or wichever project this user belongs to).

Please, understand that Wikimetrics' cohort input follows CSV format, and as such has this limitation and forces the users to follow one of those 2 options.
