Description

When using the file source for syncing users, an email address is created for each user based on the hostname. This email is often not a valid email address and fails when the user is posted to the REST endpoint:

016-05-04 17:01:28,318 [http-bio-6080-exec-6] INFO  org.apache.ranger.biz.UserMgr (UserMgr.java:1140) - create:bob@localhost
2016-05-04 17:01:28,318 [http-bio-6080-exec-6] INFO  org.apache.ranger.biz.UserMgr (UserMgr.java:1150) - Invalid email address:bob@localhost
2016-05-04 17:01:28,319 [http-bio-6080-exec-6] INFO  org.apache.ranger.common.RESTErrorUtil (RESTErrorUtil.java:64) - Request failed. SessionId=13, loginId=rangerusersync, logMessage=Please provide valid email address.
javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException
	at org.apache.ranger.common.RESTErrorUtil.createRESTException(RESTErrorUtil.java:55)
	at org.apache.ranger.common.RESTErrorUtil.createRESTException(RESTErrorUtil.java:310)
	at org.apache.ranger.biz.UserMgr.createDefaultAccountUser(UserMgr.java:1151)

Since the UI does not require email address, we should remove this validation.
