Bug description

Today I have discovered that all new users are created with the federated scope by default. So, if you occasionally forget to disable federation and your cloud is open occasionally than all other users can find you just knowing the domain name. I think this is completely wrong and the scope should be local until changed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run sql query select * from oc_accounts where uid="test_user"; in your nc database.
2. Observe:

| test_user | {"displayname":{"value":"Test user","scope":"v2-federated","verified":"0"},"address":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"website":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"email":{"value":"test@mydomain.tld","scope":"v2-federated","verified":"0"},"avatar":{"value":"","scope":"v2-federated","verified":"0"},"phone":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"twitter":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"fediverse":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"organisation":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"role":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"headline":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"biography":{"value":"","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"},"profile_enabled":{"value":"0","scope":"v2-local","verified":"0"}} |

So, the displayame, email are of federated scope.

Expected behavior

The default values for the newly created users should be local. If needed, a user can make it federated or whatever.

Start by tracing how new users are created and how the oc_accounts profile JSON receives its default scopes. Reproduce the issue with the SQL query shown and verify that newly created users use local scope for the affected fields; done means the expected database values are local by default.
