This patch makes the default soprovider more suitable for a wider range of
uses by making the email address and display name optional. It does
remove the alternateId status of emailAddress.
Tim Lesher has rightly expressed some concern. ( http://tinyurl.com/rfwqu

My thinking is that:
1. TG 1.0 will be used in internet apps, intranet apps, and apps in small
mom and pop shops for which the term "intranet" would be overkill... as
would be requiring an email address and (to a lesser extent) display name.
The current tg_user enforces a decidedly "Internet App" flavor.
2. As Jorge Godoy pointed out on the Turbogears list, it's easier to add
constraints than to remove them.
3. The TG 1.0 API will be fixed in stone and we will be living with it for
a while.
4. The fields are useful to a large enough percentage of people that it
makes sense to keep them for (optional) use than to remove them entirely.
