#3114: Action in bp_core_screen_general_settings for validating email

-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 The current buddypress version (1.2.8) does not include email validation
 for the settings profile page. A user can enter any value and it will be
 saved.

 Attached is a patch that fixes this problem. It enables the declaration of
 an action function to validate the POSTed email address. If the email
 address is not valid, a function may modify $email_error and set it to
 'true'. Example:

 {{{
 #!php
 function test_settings_email() {
     global $email_error;
     if ( !is_email($_POST['email']) ) {
         $email_error = true;
     }
 }
 add_action('bp_core_screen_general_settings_before_save',
 'test_settings_email', 1);
 }}}
