Short description of what this PR does:

• Use raw-string notation for regex to avoid invalid escape sequence

From the re docs:

Regular expressions use the backslash character ('\') to indicate special forms or to allow special characters to be used without invoking their special meaning. This collides with Python’s usage of the same character for the same purpose in string literals; for example, to match a literal backslash, one might have to write '\\\\' as the pattern string, because the regular expression must be \\, and each backslash must be expressed as \\ inside a regular Python string literal.

The solution is to use Python’s raw string notation for regular expression patterns; backslashes are not handled in any special way in a string literal prefixed with 'r'. So r"\n" is a two-character string containing '\' and 'n', while "\n" is a one-character string containing a newline. Usually patterns will be expressed in Python code using this raw string notation.

Before

$ pycodestyle | grep W605
./sendgrid/helpers/mail/validators.py:27:16: W605 invalid escape sequence '\.'
./sendgrid/helpers/mail/validators.py:27:30: W605 invalid escape sequence '\.'
$

After

$ pycodestyle | grep W605

Once merged, the exception from #654 should be removed:
