Mateusz Mandera 160cc5120a api: Require can_create_users permission to create users via API.
Allowing any admins to create arbitrary users is not ideal because it
can lead to abuse issues.  We should require something stronger that
requires the server operator's approval and thus we add a new
can_create_users permission.

!!! warn "" This endpoint is limited to organizations administrators who additionally have the can_create_users permission for the Zulip organization.

Zulip Cloud users can request the `can_create_users` permission for a bot by contacting
[Zulip Cloud support](/help/contact-support) with an explanation for why it is needed.

Self-hosted installations can toggle `can_create_users` on an account using
the `manage.py change_user_role` command.

**Changes**: Before Zulip 4.0 (feature level 36), this endpoint was
available to all organization administrators.
