[development] User registration without email

[Robert Wohleb]

After some more research this isn't as easy as it appears. Using
form_alter() is the easy part. The trouble comes with how user.module is
handling form validation. If it was setting #validate I could easily
override it, but it is doing validation through user_user(). Personally,
I see this as a bug. Any thoughts?
