Cleaned up patch formatting and error codes.

Refined validation logic to remove some duplication of code from wp_insert_user (which will be caught by is_wp_error at end of the method).

Refined send_mail logic to reuse existing pluggable functionality.

Im not sure about having two parameter names (user_login and username).
I first developed as this and changed it following a discussion
in GSoC blog and with my mentor.

Anyway its not a major issue

Per IRC discussion (see #18428), this isn't going to be part of XML-RPC for the time being.
