Message:

Formatting: Increase minimum characters allowed in is_email() to 6.

Brings the minimum characters expected for a valid email address to six, which matches the expectations in wp_handle_comment_submission() and REST API email arguments.

Props rmccue, lukecavanagh, rachelbaker, desrosj, sudar.
Fixes #38708.
