Title:
  Bulk import doesn't retain user details correctly

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress
Status in Mahara 19.04 series:
  Confirmed
Status in Mahara 19.10 series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This was reported at
  https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=8502

  I can confirm it with a bulk export from account on demo.mahara.org
  (attached).

  For details, see the forum post.

  To replicate:

  Have 2 or more accounts that have files and portfolio pages, e.g. from
  demo.mahara.org

  1. Use the bulk export to export the accounts.
  2. On another Mahara site, use the bulk import to import the acocunts.
  Expected result: The accounts are transferred and set up as they were on the original site.

  Actual result: Everybody has the same name and profile pictures are
  not displayed even when the accounts had some. While email addresses
  were shown in the site admin area Admin menu -> People -> User search,
  no primary email address was shown on the accounts settings page and
  when logging in, an email validation was to be sent.

  Still to be tested on 18.10 and 18.04 if it's an issue there as well.
