User creation through API doesn't prompt password reset email

Created by: scamargo

This is a feature / improvement request

Current Behaviour: (v7.9.1) When creating a user through the API, the user confirmation email does not ask users to do a password reset. This leads to a usability issue since users that have accounts created for them may not know their current username and password, and even if they know the username they may not think to log out and click "reset password".

Desired Behaviour: When creating a user through the API, the user email generated asks users to reset their password -- as it occurs when creating a user from the admin console.

Please let me know if more information is needed.
