Consider adding email verification for password resets

[ZeroIntensity]

i saw this conversation in the pointercrate discord earlier:

its not exactly great that pointercrate doesn't have this, and shouldnt be super hard to implement.

you can set up a mail server with docker and use some rust mail library (such as lettre) for email sending.

it's worth noting that the code currently "supports" associating emails with profiles for the purpose of resetting passwords, although i'm pretty sure this code is incomplete and doesn't support sending emails just yet (or even has a button for password reset). also a mail server is kinda overkill for just sending emails imo, but that's a story for another day

judging by the message in commit 09ab828b1f558c88467b4435322d44cdcb446a45, the account system may be scrapped in favor of using google accounts for auth, which would eliminate this problem anyways.

Yes, as @qimiko says, I do plan to replace the current log-in system with google oauth logins, as that will also allow me to automate more parts of the verification process. I just haven't had the time to look into it yet :(

We won't be adding e-mail verification for native pointercrate account, instead focusing on adding google oauth integration and encouraging people to migrate (also by disabling legacy account creation). See also #127 and #135
