Public bug reported:

Sometimes you add some users but you don't know all the information
about them - you are wanting them to fill in the missing info when they
first log in.

So you make a bunch of profile field mandatory in Extensions -> profile
->configuration

But the next time you try to add some more users via the csv upload file
it complains a field is missing.

So you have to uncheck the mandatory fields that are missing and then
upload the csv file then tick the mandatory fields back on again.

Too many clicks!!!

So I propose having on the upload csv page a checkbox 'Ignore mandatory
fields' so when ticked it ignores any non-essential fields (like
username) and allows the upload to proceed.

Note: need to do this for a client
