Public bug reported:

Currently if we create/update a user without an email address using
Horizon, an empty string is stored in the database.

mysql> select name, extra from user;
| test           | {"email": ""}                     |

However, when using the keystone client, no email means storing
'null'/None.

$ keystone user-create --name anothertest --pass test
[...]
mysql> select name, extra from user;
| anothertest    | {"email": null}                   |

We should match the keystone client behaviour, as storing empty strings
is saving incorrect data that may cause issues, particularly with
certain identity backends.
