'Add users by csv' to ignore non-essential mandatory fields (Bug
#1322387)

Sometimes you just don't have all the data when you are adding users via
csv but you have enough to create a user. So will remove the checking
of mandatory fields - to be in line with 'Add user' page.

Title:
  Allow user csv upload to ignore non-essential mandatory fields

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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
