Add `ConvertSteamID` function. Add `GetAccountIDBySteamID64` function with support elder browsers. Add but not used `ResolveVanityURL` function. Use `onblur` event for <input id="steamid">, <input id="steam"> and <input name="SteamID"> to autoconvert SteamID.

Not all browsers support BigInt.
It's something like var & 0xFFFFFFFF.
This code subtracts bits 1 << 63...32 from number.

You can implement auto-converting feature on backend side, what should also resolve CSRF problems when user inserts URL with custom address.

I think this is unwanted load for server and absolutely not needed for simple converting [U:1:116845363] -> STEAM_0:1:58422681.
If someone wants it can to implement call ResolveVanityURL through SteamAPI on server-side.
And... I already did it for client-side (except ResolveVanityURL; This blocked by CORS).

This is simple math, you can't make a high load for server with simple calculating SteamID v2 from v3/community id.
I would agree with your position only if "Add ban/comm/admin" page would be haunted, but no. This is another case.

This function also must been used for search on main pages.

And no matter how simple the functions are, we must not forget that thousands and tens of thousands of clients call them.
And the functions themselves in web server are at least several hundred.
Such a simple converting is quite possible to entrust the client.
