Add Top Ignored Users report

This is part of the Ability to ignore a user feature, and also part of this PR. We want to send a System Message daily when a specific count threshold for an ignored is reached. To make this system message informative, we want to link to a report for the Top Ignored Users too.

Skip sending emails to domains on the .invalid TLD

This is a reserved TLD which we use when importing users without an email address. RFC 2606 - Reserved Top Level DNS Names

Fetch email from auth provider if current user email is invalid

If the existing email address for a user ends in .invalid, we should take the email address from an authentication payload, and replace the invalid address. This typically happens when we import users from a system without email addresses.

Also adding the ability to extend, so that plugin authenticators can define always_update_user_email?
