Pending registrations have an unreasonable expiry time

[Hugh Davenport]

The current setting is hard coded as a week after the user comfirms their email address. This setting should be configurable by site.
Reasons behind this is that admins may go extended periods without logging into mahara (ie, due to a break in school terms etc). Because of this, they may not be able to confirm or deny the pending registration in the current weeks allocation. In addition, the current email sent doesn't have any mention of the time limit.

To fix this, I would suggest that we make a configurable option for the expiry time (and also maybe do the same for the user registration links sent out, which are currently 24 hours hard coded), and also change the wording of the email sent to admins noting the expiry time.

This bug is related to bug #918431
