This modvar was set for users revalidating emal and for users validating 
accounts as the two processes were using the same functions in roles.

I separated this out a few months ago in roles and the last user is only set 
on registration, not on revalidation of email.

The functions are still similar here, but the process of validating accounts 
and revalidating emails have been mostly separated pending moving to 
separate apis.  It should be in the current monotone code and also available 
in the nightly build if you want to grab it..
