Issue Summary

Some customer wants to select the unlicensed user first, because they manage the license with checking user assignees and activities in Bitbucket via REST API.
So they wants to select the unlicensed user first in Project/Repository permissions, and then they grant the license to that user. In Jira/Confluence, this procedure works fine because these products are able to select the unlicensed user in the user picker.

This is reproducible on Data Center: yes

Expected Results

Provide ability to select the unlicensed user in Bitbucket user pickers as same as Jira/Confluence.

Actual Results

You can't select the unlicensed user in Bitbucket.
