FIX: creating a user shouldn't error when optional fields aren't provided

This fixes a bug where the server would 500 if the only user fields
where optional ones, and the create_user call didn't provide any
values so that params[:user_fields] was nil.

Additionally, don't bother double-checked for required fields, since we
iterate over all fields and will catch any that are required and blank.
