Impossible to send HTML emails on user registration

See original GitHub issue

At the moment there’s no way to send HTML-based emails on user registration on both HMAC and model-based backends, due to the way User.user_email(...) is used (without option to passing additional **kwargs or, at least, the html_message).

Well, technically nothing, but I think HTML support should be a must-have feature for django-registration nowadays.

As explained in #50, as an example, to have plain-text activation emails without automatic link support could be a serious usability and logical issue!

At the same time, requiring the developer to override every time the ActivationView for such a common feature is very annoying and inefficient.

Finally, there is code redundancy among backends that could be removed as shown in #53.

@ubernostrum just wandering is django-register supports html template for emails sending out now? From technical view point, this is tedious and not adding a lot value. But from business view point, this is a must. As a developer, we always get request to send out nice activation email, confirmation email etc to clients which is only available with html email template instead of txt. I think it is a must for this library.
