Drupal 8 port

For the upcoming D8 version, the email_confirmer module might be useful. It makes the hard work for any other module that needs email address confirmation as is the case with this one.

The core issue has actually seen some progress and there is a patch but work has stalled. Linking the core issue here for reference.

I'm currently working on this. As I suggest at #1, it will depend on the email_confirmer module to the confirmation process itself.

Finally, the work was done by adding the confirmation of the user's email change as part of the features of a new sub-module of the email_confirmer module. I opted for this instead of implementing a 8.x version of email_confirm for this reasons:

• the features of the new sub-module go beyond the confirmation of change users email addresses; it also provides support for confirmation database updates in some user events and planned features, such as bypass confirmation email on user register for already confirmed email addresses
• it has strong dependency on the base email_confirmer module
• sooner or later, email change confirmation will be included in core, so in the new module the email change confirmation can be disabled, which in the case of the email_confirm module would be like uninstall it

Therefore, for those who need email change confirmation in Drupal 8, it is available from version 8.x-1.0-beta2 of email_confirmer

Let's use the "Superseded by" field on the project page to document this.
