Fixes #818
While single dots in email addresses are ignored by Google, multiple consecutive dots are not, and in fact sending to an email with multiple dots inserted will result in a bounce.
Here is a speculative fix for that issue, with tests. It has one specific behavior that might be contentious, but I think may be the best balance:
On email normalization, it does NOT replace multiple consecutive dots, only single dots, regardless of the replace_dots option, because gmail itself doesn't do this behavior either.
