Changes proposed in this Pull Request:

Avoids a fatal and accounts for some missing user meta when building contact data for migrated Woo customers. This seems to be an edge case with migrated/imported users as "naturally created" WP users should always have a user_registered value, but we've seen that in rare cases imported users can lack this value.

How to test the changes in this Pull Request:

Since it's impossible to delete the user_registered value from a user once created, we need to use wp shell to simulate the conditions for the error.

1. On release, use wp shell to delete the date_created value and the First and Last Name meta fields from the user (replace 56 with your test user's ID):

> $customer = new WC_Customer( 56 );
= WC_Customer {#16805}

> $customer->set_date_created( null );
= null

> $customer->save();
= 56

> delete_user_meta( 56, 'first_name' );
= true

> delete_user_meta( 56, 'last_name' );
= true

2. While in the same wp shell session, get the contact data and observe a fatal error:

> Newspack\Reader_Activation\Sync\WooCommerce::get_contact_from_customer( $customer );

   Error  Call to a member function date() on null.

3. Check out this branch, start a new wp shell session, and repeat. This time confirm that the contact data gets built, but without a registration_date value:

> $customer = new WC_Customer( 56 );
= WC_Customer {#16805}

> $customer->set_date_created( null );
= null

> $customer->save();
= 56

> delete_user_meta( 56, 'first_name' );
= true

> delete_user_meta( 56, 'last_name' );
= true

> Newspack\Reader_Activation\Sync\WooCommerce::get_contact_from_customer( $customer );

4. Confirm that after calling get_contact_from_customer the billing first/last names are copied to the first_name and last_name user meta fields (this happens automatically when a new user is created during the checkout flow). You can check this in the User admin page for this user, or via wp user meta list <user ID> in WP CLI.
