Support invite codes

Problem

I want the ability to require an invite code for user registration.

Solution

Have a way to set up invite codes. These could be tied to a user or an application. Would be nice to have a number associated with them (so that, say, 10 people could use invite code 'dan' and 20 people could use invite code 'foo', but no more). Have a setting per application on whether to require an invite code.

When a user registers with the hosted login pages, require them to provide a valid invite code. If they don't have one or it has been fully used, provide the appropriate error message.

Alternatives/workarounds

• You can code this all up yourself using the Login API.
• https://fusionauth.io/community/forum/topic/2650/how-to-implement-user-invitation uses self service registration lambdas

I mean this is workaround not a feature, also it does require quite a few steps, for something that is quite a straight forward practice
