E-Mail address input should be trimmed

[david-uhlig]

Description:

E-Mail addresses on the user creation form /admin/users/new and on the login (web, possibly mobile as well) screen are not trimmed. This allows to accidentially create user accounts with leading or trailing whitespaces. Users will still receive the welcome e-mail but won't be able to login without replicating the e-mail address with the leading or trailing whitespaces.

Steps to reproduce:

Admin mistake

1. Go to /admin/users/new
2. Create a new account with the E-Mail set to " test@example.com" or "test@example.com ".
3. Logout.
4. Try to login using "test@example.com" afterwards.

User mistake

1. Go to /admin/users/new
2. Create a new account with the E-Mail set to "test@example.com".
3. Logout.
4. Try to login using " test@example.com" or "test@example.com " afterwards.

Expected behavior:

I expect both forms to be fault tolerant and trim whitespace at the beginning and end of the e-mail address.

Actual behavior:

Whitespace is not trimmed in either form.
