Validate email addresses

#101

Emails should be validated. Currently, users can register with invalid emails. Perhaps send them a link to confirm the account?

    Sending them a link would also pretty much remove the need for a stupid CATCHA during the sign up procedure.

    About the link:

    • Expiration? 24 hours?
    • How to check if the account is active? Perhaps if the activation hash is nil?
    • How to delete users that never activated the account? A rake task to show them and give the option to delete them?

    Not a rake task. Any non-active accounts should be automatically deleted within, say, 72 hours (the actual time should be a setting...)

    Then we need some sort of cron job.

    Still need to remove the ReCAPTCHA and decide on how to delete expired users.
