authboss Validate email address with ParseAddress

Is it possible to validate email addresses using the Go built in ParseAddress function instead of a regexp?

Looking at https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/master:src/net/mail/message.go shows how complex correctly validating an email address is but I can't see a way to use that function in Authboss, or any regexp in the above code that I can apply to MustMatch.

Perhaps a good solution could be to add a ValidationFunction option to Rules which takes a func(string) bool

Sounds like a good idea.

I think we could add a bool to opt out of this functionality, but have it turned on by default and use our license for breaking changes to introduce this in a minor. It shouldn't be processing invalid ones already. Welcome a PR for this.
