Refuse to create an OSGeo UserID associated with the email address of an already existing user

Description

In order to reduce possible email abuse we should forbid the creation of multiple users associated with the same email. This is to allow for email-based recognition of fake/malicious users, for example.

Also, users that create a new account with the same email might be just missing a "password reset" procedure instead, so it would be better to propose an alternative.

When refusing to create such an account, a message should clearly state how to contact an administrator, as with the mantra-based registration in its current incarnation.
