Thanks Stian. Your're right, it was quite easy to duplicate the
resetPasswordEmail method and adapt the code to send a verification
Email. It was also trivial to add a corresponding method to the
admin-client.

This adds some duplicated boiler-plate code to the services
UsersResource class. Should I do a PR anyway or should that be
refactored?

There's already some support here, but it's limited to retrieving the user profile. This may change a bit in the near future as we're adding auth/required-actions spi that allows custom authentication flows.
