Fix connect-time username prompt being unreachable for SSH/RDP

validateProfileForConnect() still hard-failed with a blocking
QMessageBox for a blank SSH/RDP username, running before
requestConnectOptions() ever got a chance to prompt for it inline --
so the connect-time username prompt added for issue #21 was dead code
in practice; users just got told to go edit the profile instead.
