don't set mail adress for system user

Description

The system user in openqa has a mail address noemail@open.qa set. That results in a rather ugly gravatar that cannot be changed as the address goes to /dev/null:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/576994#comments

The ttm user on the other hand does not have a mail address which results in a better icon (maybe openqa could avoid asking gravatar in the first place for those). So I'd suggest to unset the mail address for the system user too.

This email adress nomail@openqa.qa is neither set in openQA source code nor salt pillars nor states. I assume either set locally in config on osd/o3 or manually in the database on at least o3, maybe osd as well. will check.

that's just a typo of lnussel:

dbicdh/_common/upgrade/49-50/01-add-system-user.pl:            email    => 'noemail@open.qa',
dbicdh/_common/upgrade/50-51/01-add-system-user.pl:            email    => 'noemail@open.qa',
lib/OpenQA/Schema.pm:                email    => 'noemail@open.qa',
t/06-users.t:    is($system_user->email, 'noemail@open.qa', 'system user`s email uses open.qa domain');

It even was a double "typo" mistake :/

ok, I called update users set email = null where username = 'system'; for the database on o3 and the icon e.g. in https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/576994#comments looks the same now for both ttm and system. Now the icons are not unique anymore. I am not convinced this is better. I guess we could create unique email adresses and register them properly with gravatar and select an appropriate icon for each. I like the github https://uxdesign.cc/design-avatars-that-make-sense-and-be-more-inclusive-in-the-process-d4dd6a486ea6 more than the gravatar avatars when one does not provide a custom picture. Or we try to find a nicer looking gravatar pic by playing around with the fake email adress we give to "system". This is what I did now with the SQL command update users set email = 'system@open.qa' where username = 'system'; which brings us this which I think looks nicer by chance. If you like it as well then I can provide a PR to change the email adress field in source code. I doubt anyone would write an email to "system@open.qa" who would also not by mistake write to "noemail@open.qa". However, what about changing the type of the non-custom icons to something different, e.g. "identicon"? This would give us this for "system@open.qa" or this for "noemail@open.qa"

We can't change the gravatar for email adresses we can't receive email for. So leave it with system if you like that better.

Build service uses a different default which results in and

Both look a lot like system users :)

So that sounds like an easy fix: stick to noemail@ but use wavatar instead of monsterid. All monsters on openqa.suse.de look silly, while the wavatars look reasonable.

Well, as it was your decision to come up with monsters I do not see a problem to change that ;) -> https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/1822
