 Stop creating a user when a signup is performed on regular WP configs

 Since version 2.0, we are using the `$wpdb->signups` table to manage
 pending accounts. We kept on creating a user as well as a user meta to
 store the activation key for regular WP configs.

 This user creation step is now **deprecated** and **by default no user
 will be created on any WordPress config once a user signs up**. In next BP
 major version we'll fully remove the code but until then you can always
 use the `bp_signups_create_user` filter (returning `true`) or define the
 deprecated constant `BP_SIGNUPS_SKIP_USER_CREATION` to `false` to carry on
 creating the user on regular WP configs.

 This move allows us to fix a 9 years old ticket and is more consistent:
 signups are becoming users only when they validate their account.

 Fixes #6123
 Closes https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/pull/271
