Description
I can't create the user if the email is nil or blank even the email field is not a required field in the database.
Bit if I remove `include DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::User` from the user model I can create with a blank email.
* **Version**: 1.1.5
* **Rails Stacktrace**:
```
2.7.2 :004 > User.create!(first_name: 'a', last_name: 'b', password: '1234qwer', password_confirmation: '1234qwer')
TRANSACTION (0.9ms) BEGIN
User Exists? (1.7ms) SELECT 1 AS one FROM "users" WHERE "users"."email" IS NULL AND "users"."provider" = $1 LIMIT $2 [["provider", "email"], ["LIMIT", 1]]
TRANSACTION (0.4ms) ROLLBACK
Traceback (most recent call last):

Research direction
Start with the User model and the DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::User concern, reproducing the shown User.create! call with a nil or blank email. Trace the email validation and determine the intended behavior for users without email addresses; done means the behavior is resolved or clearly documented and covered by a focused test.
