Description

Currently the subject detail view has nickname as the lookup field
https://github.com/cortex-lab/alyx/blob/7e1e1394ab1db15a08833f147dd93f0498f1a005/alyx/subjects/views.py#L67
However, there may be more than one subject with a given nickname
https://github.com/cortex-lab/alyx/blob/7e1e1394ab1db15a08833f147dd93f0498f1a005/alyx/subjects/models.py#L203-L205
If we ever have two subjects from different labs with the same nickname, this would break some queries.
