This method registers a new user.
Optionally the user can be activated immediately. If the email parameter contains a string, an email template named by that string will used to send out an activation or welcome email.
The return value is the newly created user id.
This method can only be called with a valid developer key.
Required fields for userData are user and email.
Optional fields are firstname, lastname, password, address1, address2, city, state, country, postal, gender (M or F), birthdate, cellphone, phone, website, occupation, school, language, geo_latitude, geo_longitude and newsletter.
The "user" field must only contain letters (a-z), digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-), period (.), and the "at" sign (@).
There's also an optional meta field in the userData array. This field can contain any data array.
