Currently when a (new) user gets invited as a member to an org, and SMTP is enabled, but sending the invite fails, the user is still created.
They will only not have received a mail, and admins/owners need to re-invite the member again.
Since the dialog window still keeps on-top when this fails, it kinda invites to click try again, but that will fail in mentioning the user is already a member.

To prevent this weird flow, this commit will delete the user, invite and member if sending the mail failed.
This allows the inviter to try again if there was a temporary hiccup for example, or contact the server admin and does not leave stray users/members around.

Fixes #5349
