[PROPOSAL] Deprecate passwordReset column in users table in favour of adding a new status to approved.

[phillf]

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Deprecate the passwordReset column in the users table.
2. Rename the approved column to accountStatus.
3. Introduce new status of 3 which would correspond to "User must reset password upon next login".

I am also thinking that that when a user is unsuspended their password should be changed to something completely random and a password reset upon next login should be forced.

This would require an email to be sent to the user upon suspension deprecation.

This might be something that should be split into a separate issue/proposal.

[phillf]

The underlying problem with this is that the reset password facility isn't currently implemented.

[phillf]

I will create another issue for the implementation of a Password reset workflow.

Later on I will pull out the column in question as it doesn't serve a purpose.
