Mateusz Mandera 0e2691815e confirmation: Prevent re-use of email change links.
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.
