Bug 1714082: prevent users from emails being case sensitive.

All emails are checked case-insensitively, but are kept in the db in
the way user has typed
- institution regisistrations are pending and don't appear in usr,
artefact, or artefact_internal_profile_email, but in usr_registration
so added additonal check
- placed helper function inside user.php
- putting in a special character before the @ will give single error
- putting in a special char after the @ will flag a spam checker and out
two errors

Title:
  The user's primary email address is not checked in a case insensitive
  way

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Currently you can create 2 users, via the Admin -> Users -> Add user
  screen, with this:

  username: Test one   email: [email protected]
  username: Test two   email: [email protected]

  but not another user with

  username: Test three   email: [email protected]

  As it complains the email address '[email protected]' is used

  However, with email addresses the domain part is case insensitive and
  only the username part is case sensitive - yet saying that most email
  servers treat the username part also as case insensitive to avoid
  email delivery confusion - see https://www.lifewire.com/are-email-
  addresses-case-sensitive-1171111

  To also avoid confusion within Mahara we should limit the primary
  email address to be case insensitive unique.
