Ability to resend verification email

[GHkrishna]

Steps to Reproduce
Currently when we register as a new user, we are required to verify our email as a prerequisite in order to proceed with the registration flow.

Current behavior
Currently, we are only able to send the verification email once. Which for some reason if is missed/deleted/lost. There is no provision to resent the verification email link.

We get a 409 error when trying to send verification link:

Expected behavior
There should be a resent verifcation link functionality where in we can have a max number of tries (maybe 2-3, configurable, taken from config). If not maxed out we should be able to resent verification email.

How can this be achieved?

• We can have a resend flag in the existing send-verification-link API which can be triggered in cases we want to resend verification email
• This should be false by default
• Should have a max capacity as per configuration to only resend email for max number of times and throw a contact administrator or max verification link sent functionality
