Bug 1615280: More robust email validation

Because all of our emails need to pass PHPMailer's
validation method before they get sent (due to the way
PHPMailer is written) it makes the most sense to use
that for validation.

Change-Id: I232ab9496ce8fc295a49625c999b48215305216c
behatnotneeded: Covered by phpunit
(cherry picked from commit 1192c05d2a316dcb4f45cbca28b5a6f1f6acfdac)

Bug description:
  This one has existed since 2006, but only become an issue with the
  opening up of TLDs over the past few years.
  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains)

  Currently the email validation in pieform limits the TLD to between 2-4 
characters (see pieform_rule_email() in 
htdocs/lib/pieforms/pieform/rules/email.php.)
  That means people from .horse, for example, can't register. Changing the 
regex fixed my immediate problem, haven't tested how the other email validation 
points react. They use FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL and PHPMailer::ValidateAddress, so 
might be better.
