Right now you can claim address like "[email protected] " (note spaces in the
end) or even "[email protected]\t" (tab in the end, you can't type this but can
copy&paste from some source. That's how I discovered this issue actually).
That's a problem because on the UI you can't see this blank symbols and later,
when user types the same email in, say, password recovery form, but without
spaces in the end, system will not find it, therefore user will not be able to
recover password. Also, association of commits with users and other stuff won't
work.
Probably fix is as simple as adding `.strip()` inside `EmailAddress.canonical`,
since we use it everywhere already, but it's good to test/investigate further.
Don't sure what to do with existing emails like this which are already in mongo.
