Substantial change to the logic for awarding referral points when a new user is invited.
Formerly, this assumed the onUserAfterSave plugin could pick up a referral ID from the request
(which invoked registration), but this does not work where new registrations get redirected
by whatever means. The logic is now changed so the referral link points into UserPoints itself,
which then stores the referral ID and redirects to registration. Change to onUserAfterSave for
the new user plugin to access either REQUEST or SESSION data.Change to onUserAfterSave for the
