🐛 Bug Report: Error 500 when invoking account.createVerification on previously anonymous users

[hosnipogi]

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Create an anonymous session

await appwrite.account.createAnonymousSession();

2. Anonymous user decides to sign up/create an account

const user = await appwrite.account.updateEmail(email, password); 

3. Login the previously anonymous user

await appwrite.account.createEmailSession(user.email, val.password);

4. Send a verification email to the newly signed up user

await appwrite.account.createVerification(
  `${window.location.origin}/account-verify`
); 

5. Response from server is an Error 500

👍 Expected behavior

Show a much more meaningful error message or make user name field optional or default to an empty string instead of null

👎 Actual Behavior

500 error response, upon inspecting appwrite docker logs, the error is due to assigning null to the user's name field:

[Error] Message: Appwrite\Event\Mail::setName(): Argument #1 ($name) must be of type string, null given, called in /usr/src/code/app/controllers/api/account.php on line 2159

@hosnipogi, thanks for creating this issue! 🙏🏼 I think we should have a default for the name, but let me check what that should be.
