    When changing the server settings for how to send e-mail, it's nice to give
    people the option to test it (so they don't have to create a fake review
    request and jump through a bunch of hoops). This change adds a new check-box
    that allows users to trigger such an email after the form is saved.

    This doesn't cover 100% of the things that can go wrong with sending e-mails
    (such as random SPF/DKIM failures or mail servers that don't like the
    Sender/From distinction), but it should be good enough to verify that you typed
    your SMTP credentials correctly.

    This also organizes the e-mail settings into three sections.

    Set my e-mail backend to console and saved the form with this check-box set.
    Saw that it "sent" an e-mail from the correct Sender (noreply) to my user's
    configured e-mail address.
