   @param password the password to be used for this user.

   @return The user_id of the person promoted to user

acs_user::demote_user

   Demotes an ACS user to a person/party.

   This will fail if other tables have content referencing the users

   table.  It is probably best for tables created in other packages

   to reference persons, parties, or acs_objects instead.  This proc

   could be extended with an option to find all referenced tables and

   remove rows referencing this user.
