Email validation not working correctly

Description

When creating new users with wp_insert_user or when changing user's email address in UI. Emails such as 'joe@com' or 'jill@sometld' are not accepted as valid email addresses.

Those email addresses are rarely used, but they are valid email addresses.

So many related bugs. I'd suggest that validation includes only validating if '@' character is present, the absence of trailing dot, and the absence of double dots. Everything the else is a fair game.
