We strip most whitespace as of: https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/1701 However we are still getting some bad email addresses through, for example one that had a leading zero-width space character. This means that the user sees a validation error; really we should just deal with the mess for them. So this commit also includes characters without Unicode character property "WSpace=Y" (which includes zero-width space) to those which are stripped from form submissions. List taken from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character See issue and discussion here: https://bugs.python.org/issue13391
