Bug 22343 introduced a rewrite of Koha::Email. One of the changes it introduced
was that it now validates all addresses, not just the 'To' header. This
immediately affected anyone with default values like root at localhost.

An exchange with the library author [1] highlighted that the way we use
Email::Valid is to blame for breaking on @localhost addresses. It also made it
clear that this behavior can be overridden by using a trivial flag on the call.

While the RFC for email systems specify that FQDN needs to be used, debugging
bug 26705 highlighted we need this to allow anyone to test email stuffs.

I propose to allow non-fqdn addresses.
