DEV: Confirm email when creating users via the API

committed 08:56PM - 14 Apr 20 UTC

This commit is for a frequently requested task on meta so that only 1 API call i…s needed instead of 3! In order to create a user via the api and not have them receive an activation email you can pass in the `active=true` flag. This prevents sending an email, but it is only half of the solution and puts the db in a weird state where it has an active user with an unconfirmed email. This commit fixes that and ensures that if the `active=true` flag is set the user's email is also marked as confirmed. This change only applies to admins using the API.
