    Bug #841723: Increase precision of user deletion times
    
    Delete user: use microtime() (float) instead of time() for username & email
    
    This prevents collisions when a username with the same details being
    deleted in the same second (which happens when tests are running)

Title:
  Use microtime instead of float for user deletion

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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
