The `flanker` python library can be installed to implement optional
email address validation.
Nevertheless, it is not fully supported in python 3 (see https://github.com/mailgun/flanker).
Recent issues point to the fact that the latest pip release version 0.9.11
does not work under python 3.10.
This can lead to features, using the email validation, creating blocking
behavior due to error tracebacks.
As this is more of an issue on flanker's side than Odoo's, we remove the
`pip install` instruction. It can be assumed that someone wanting to go
out of their way to install flanker, should be proficient enough to either
make sure the python <3.10 is running or install one of the Github repo tagged
versions.
After this change, we still inform the user of the optional feature, but do not directly
incite them to pip install it, which should prevent normal users from
inadvertently blocking parts of their Odoo database.

Context
-------
Lead assignement is now based on PLS probability.
We want to avoid giving the same score to real email addresses
and email addresses that are just well formed
Flanker try to acheive that be checking specific
criteria according to the domain, check the dns and mx record
Improvement
-----------
Define a mail_validate function seach as phone_validate.
If flanker is installed, use flanker for validation of
email addresses else use email_normalize.
It should help the PLS to give a bad score to well formed addresses
that flanker suspect to be wrong.
Setup
-----
NB: flanker is not available as debian package, we make it optional
To install flanker
```
pip install flanker
pip install redis
pip install dnsq
```
If you have installed it as root you may need to run
```py
from flanker.addresslib import address
```
as root for the first initialisation
