Public bug reported:

Currently when we call 'delete_user()' we delete most of the user's data
but we leave some bits behind, like forum posts and obfuscate the user's
email address in the usr table.

But it would also be useful to add a 'purge' option to delete_user()
function so that we could delete all info about a user so it was like
they never existed, including all files in the dataroot etc

So in lib/user.php the function delete_user($userid) would become
function delete_user($userid, $purge = false)

And we'd add just before the db_commit() an if($purge) { } section to
deal with full cleanup.
