Description

The code in wp_insert_user does not check to see if the sanitised name which will be used for user_login is actually a useful username.

It is therefore possible to end up with a user with an empty user_login which is not much use.

This is hilighted by #10319 which talk about issues with the import and non-ascii usernames.

The purpose of this ticket is to fix wp_insert_user to stop the users getting created.

(In [12468]) Add stricter checks to wp_insert_user() to ensure we don't create a user with an empty user_login but return a WP_Error instead. Fixes #11548.
