Prevent special chars in user’s name

See original GitHub issue

When giving a user an full name that contains a char like ! the email will get blocked by gmail and other hosts because of duplicate adress entries that aren’t matching.

Suggestion: Only allow [a-zA-Z0-9 ] for the first name and last name fields. Maybe some names contain utf chars like è. In that case you could just block the special chars.

@schneidermayer Actually, the problem comes from the coma. It is used as a separator when you send a message to multiple recipients and modoboa does not escape it (it is a mistake).
