There was a problem hiding this comment.
This implementation looks solid! I ran some tests, and it appears to work perfectly.
I'll run some more tests and hopefully approve.

Title
Add StackOverflow username validator
Description
This Pull Request adds a new validator for StackOverflow, located in
community/stackoverflow.pyThe StackOverflow user search endpoint:
https://stackoverflow.com/users/filter?search=
always returns HTTP 200, regardless of whether the user exists or not. Therefore, the validator uses
generic_validate()and inspects the HTML response body.The detection logic follows these rules:
"No users matched your search."→ the username is available.>{username}<→ the username is taken.
