    Remove email verification in registration with approval (bug #918431)
    
    When an institution requires approval before registration, treat the
    approval email as address verification.  After filling in the
    registration form with an institution that requires approval, the user
    is simply asked to wait, rather than clicking on an email link to
    verify their email address.  After approval, clicking on the link from
    the approval email both verifies the email & creates the account.

Title:
  Registration confirmation could be simplified

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The registration process for institutions with confirmation enabled
  seems unnecessarily difficult.  I think it could be streamlined a bit.

  1. The 'Reason' field could be added to the initial registration form
  rather than on its own separate page.  It could be hidden with
  javascript whenever an institution that doesn't require approval is
  selected in the drop-down.  Reason could also be optional rather than
  required, because in many cases the admin will be able to approve
  registrations based on the email address.

  2. The user might not need to go through two steps of clicking the
  link in an email.  I think we could treat the second (post-approval)
  one as email verification as well as account creation.  So after
  filling in the registration form, the user could go straight to
  something like "Your registration has been submitted for approval by
  Foo College.  An email will be sent to bob@xxxxxxxxxxx with further
  registration details soon."  After approval, clicking on the link from
  the approval email would verify the email & create the account.  The
  downside could be a few more registrations with bad email addresses
  going to the institution admin, but I think the admin could still be
  confident that she is only approving the real owner of the email.
