AAP-51789 - allow_null for field created_by_ansible_id (ansible#813)

Jira - https://issues.redhat.com/browse/AAP-51789

## Description
<!-- Mandatory: Provide a clear, concise description of the changes and
their purpose -->
- What is being changed? Field `created_by_ansible_id` now accepts null
values
- Why is this change needed? Needed so that when creating users directly
via controller, a user can successfully be added to orgs/teams, even if
this field is initially not populated. This allows for successful user
creation, which was previously blocked since null being required caused
the social_auth_pipeline to fail.
- How does this change address the issue? This change addresses the
issue by allowing null for the field created_by_ansible_id
