If someone pastes 'mailto:foo@example.com' from a webpage's contact link, validate_email rejects it. Strip the scheme first so the address underneath gets validated and stored on its own. Closes DemocracyClub#2735 Signed-off-by: Charlie Tonneslan <cst0520@gmail.com>

Fixes #2735.
If you copy an email address out of a candidate's 'Contact' link on their council profile, you usually get something like
mailto:sarah_freestone@labour.org.uk. Right nowvalidate_emailrejects that because of the scheme. Stripping it before validating means the address gets stored cleanly, the same way other identifier inputs already striphttps://,@, etc.
