Public bug reported:

We need to allow the creation of a user with minimum details from SAML

With modern privacy laws some Identity Providers will not include
identifying things like first name, last name, email address in their
minimum packet of info about an authenticated user.

Mahara expect these to exist to create a new user, otherwise will throw
an error.

To get passed this, by allowing just an unique identifier or username,
we will need to create a config option to be set so the site can handle
this.

And once the user is created the person logging in will be presented
with the unset mandatory fields screen where they can fill in the
missing information.
