Problem is the dealing with the email artefact type happens after the check
for is_singular(), which 'email' artefact type is not.

Title:
  SAML Update user details on login option creating new email artefact
  on every login

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Mahara version: 15.04.1

  Issue: When a user logs in via SAML and the configuration option is
  set to update the user's details then a new email artefact is created
  every time.

  I think I have traced the problem

  saml/lib.php line #234 calls set_profile_field($user->id, 'email',
  $email);

  lib/user.php lines #511-516 are a try{} in which  $email =
  artefact_instance_from_type('email', $userid); is called.

  This fails with the message "This artefact type is not a 'singular'
  artefact type" and so a new email artefact is created.

  It will always fail because artefact/internal/lib.php lines #705-708
  returns false for is_singular()

  class ArtefactTypeEmail extends ArtefactTypeProfileField {
      public static function is_singular() {
          return false;
      }
