The .status value of EmailChangeStatus was not being looked at anywhere to prevent re-use of email change confirmation links. This is not a security issue, since the EmailChangeStatus object has a fixed value for the new_email, while the confirmation link has expiry time of 1 day, which prevents any reasonable malicious scenarios. We fix this by making get_object_from_key look at confirmation.content_object.status - which applies generally to all confirmations where the attached object has the .status attribute. This is desired, because we never want to successfully get_object_from_key an object that has already been used or reused. This makes the prereg_user.status check in check_prereg_key redundant so it can be deleted.
