Better error handling regarding invalid domains in e-mail cleanup
I believe https://github.com/alephdata/ingest-file/issues/253 should be fixed here in `followthemoney`, because https://github.com/alephdata/followthemoney/blob/4b102568a3b3d13a8c4b34de4b7dc0f856a08b9c/followthemoney/types/email.py#L71 might [raise a UnicodeError](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=encode#str.encode).

The suggested change: return `None` if a `UnicodeError` is raised.
