Bug Description

c.l.webapp.tales.FormattersAPI._re_email and and c.l.validators.email.valid_email
use different patterns to match email addresses. The two patterns have different
uses, but the patterns should at least agree about the shape and characters in an
email address. The validators pattern is used to match an entire string, while the
tales pattern is used to match many addresses in a string. It might be better for both
patterns to be made from a common definition of an email address.
