Public bug reported:

When an institution wants to upload their users via a csv file, but some
of their users already have a Mahara account, i.e. the email address
already exists in Mahara, an error message is returned and no new user
accounts are created.

Instead, only these duplicates should be ignored and all other accounts
should be created. Thus, when a csv file is uploaded and existing
accounts / email addresses are encountered, convert the error message
into a warning that is printed to the screen and keep going with the
account creation.
