Improve Use of StopSpammer

[fiammybe]

Stopspammer is used in the core during the creation of users. In some cases, for example during a local installation, Stopspammer gives false positives, effectively blocking users where it is not needed.

• reduce false positives
• make it optional

I think this is a good candidate to use the events in the core : create an event 'beforeusercreate' and link stopspammer to that.

This is an import from Assembla Ticket 431

@skenow do you still have a plan anything to do with this?

[skenow]

To be honest, I haven't come up with a plan of attack. I'll have a look at it.

@skenow I think finding a similar library that is regularly updated would be an excellent first step and then replacing internal StopSpammer code with this library. One of our main problems is that we do not have enough time to keep up with security stuff..
