 `wp_new_user_notification()` has a second param `$plaintext_pass`. If it's
 not set the user won't get a notification, only the site admin. Now in
 trunk this param has been removed and the user get's always an email, see
 [comment:ticket:33209:9.

 * @jeremyfelt: Maybe repurpose the second param as a flag for sending the
 notification instead of plain text? If empty don't send.
 * This should have a changelog entry.
 * @kraft: `wp_new_user_notification()` is still called with the second
 param:

 * (This is a pluggable function.)
