[PATCH] Fix issue with delegation of patch via REST API

There have been reports of people being unable to delegate patches to
themselves, despite being a maintainer or the project to which the patch
is associated.

The issue is a result of how we do a check for whether the user is a
maintainer of the patch's project [1]. This check is checking if a given
'User.id' is in the list of items referenced by
'Project.maintainer_project'. However, 'Project.maintainer_project' is a
backref to 'UserProfile.maintainer_projects'. This means we're comparing
'User.id' and 'UserProfile.id'. Boo.

This wasn't seen in testing since we've had a post-save callback [2] for some
time that ensures we always create a 'UserProfile' object whenever we create a
'User' object. This also means we won't have an issue on deployments initially
deployed after that post-save callback was added, a 'User' with id=N will
always have a corresponding 'UserProfile' with id=N. However, that's not true
for older deployments such as the ozlabs.org one.
