Description

E.g. http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5766-4698

This could be as simple as a field in the user profile. Would make sense once we have public profiles.

See also #936.

Research direction
Investigate the current user profile implementation in Indico. Check the related issue #936 for context on public profiles. Look into adding an ORCID field to the user model, likely in models/users.py or similar. Ensure proper validation of ORCID IDs. Implement a corresponding form field and update the profile template.
