Public bug reported:

For unit testing, or scripted user management for that matter, there may be the need to create and remove the same user multiple times over a short period. The current deletion method is to alter the username and e-mail address to suffix deleted.time()
Time isn't precise enough and you end up with collisions.

Changing to use microtime fixes these issues and allows for unit tests
to be run
