noreplyaddress should be a valid address, else
it will not be saved. For behat we don't send
email, so set it to noreply@example.com, to
avoid failing validation on localhost

It was discovered by unit tests that the return value is not a real
boolean as was intuitively expected and documented. To avoid potential
issues with the truthyness in the future, we explicitly cast the return
value to boolean now.

The patch adds validation for the noreplyaddress setting variable, for
the explicit $replyto parameter and for the sender's email. In case of
misconfigured noreplyaddress setting, it falls back to the default
noreply address value. In case of invalid email in the user's record,
the email is not sent.

The patch also adds unit test for the value returned by the function
generate_email_processing_address() so that it can be considered as a
valid email, too.

This is supposed to significantly minimise the risk of exploiting the
vulnerability in PHPMailer's Sender field.

The noreply and support emails should always be valid.

The 'attachments' is not a real DB field here. It comes from the form's
filepicker and holds the id of the attachments filearea. The function
forum_add_attachment() expects it as a property of the first argument.

There were two possible approaches here. Either to pass the raw $newpost
to forum_add_attachment(), or add the attachments into the list
modifiable fields. The second approach is safer.

We allow only .scss files so allow files to be included only and only if they end in .scss and they exist on server under theme directory.

MDL-55839 Introduced some changes in CSS selectors used by the form.js
file.

This caused contributed plugins to not work (javascript stop working)
when editing a module.
