Allow international special characters in emails - fixes #1305

[bhstahl]

The validate-email Regex in Form.Validator blocks special characters that are common in international languages (such as áéíèàùñÑêÊäÄöÖüÜçÇ).

well. this is not alpha numeric. if we go that route, all of these need to
pass as per RFC6530

• Latin Alphabet (with diacritics): Pelé@example.com
• Greek Alphabet: δοκιμή@παράδειγμα.δοκιμή
• Traditional Chinese Characters: 我買@屋企.香港
• Japanese Characters: 甲斐@黒川.日本
• Cyrillic Characters: чебурашка@ящик-с-апельсинами.рф

exactly. furthermore. HTML5's input[type=email] without a supplied
pattern also fails in the same way, which is OK as you can configure it.

@timwienk @DimitarChristoff Very fair points, I agree with your stance. It was a use case localized fix for a legacy project, so I figured I would contribute but hadn't considered your points. If I get some time the validate-email-advanced validator would be a nice solution.
