Bug description:  Filter var for validating email is not validating emails 
correctly

Description:
------------
Filter_Var does not validate emails accurately enough, and false positives
are made. The regex needs improving - the regex we are using in kohanaphp
framework (with preg_match) is more accurate.

some more reading could be done here:

http://fightingforalostcause.net/misc/2006/compare-email-regex.php

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://codepad.org/UIrhI5ep

Expected result:
----------------
All emails in $valid are valid, all emails in $invalid are invalid.

A far more accurate regex can be found here:

http://dev.kohanaphp.com/projects/kohana2/repository/entry/trunk/system/helpers/valid.php#L20

Actual result:
--------------
There are false positives and non failures.
